Frequently asked questions
Which triathlon should I do first?
Start with a Sprint — the distances are manageable for anyone who can swim 750m, cycle 20km and run 5km. It gives you the full experience (swim-bike-run, transitions, race atmosphere) without months of preparation.
Do I need a triathlon-specific bike?
Not to start — a road bike or even a hybrid works for a Sprint or Olympic. A triathlon (TT) bike with aero bars is faster but expensive and unnecessary until you're racing seriously.
