Hey guys traithlons have always intrigued me and I am looking for some information about them as i know nothing about them other then you bike, run, and swim. Now...
1. What order do you do the three things in or does it change for different races.
2. Generally how far is the run, the bike, and the swim?
3. Is everything back to back or is there a rest in between stages?
4. Is it swimming in a pool? Ocean? I would guess pool but do any go to the beach? In a pool I assume you do laps.
5. What is so special about a specific triathlon bike? What is different about it. I see the hand positioning is different. why? what else?
6. Any other info you could give me would be great. My ultimate goal is to try one of these out.
Thanks
