Looking for advice on doing my first Triathalon and wondered whether anyone has done one on here.
From my research, there are 3 types of triathalon, based purely on distance.
1. Olympic - 1500m Swim, followed by 40Km Bike and then 10K run
2. Sprint - 750m Swim, followed by 20Km Bike and then 5K run
3. Super Sprint - 400m Swim, followed by 10K Bike and the 2.5K run
I'm in reasonably good shape and was thinking about breaking in gently by doing the Super Sprint one first, which shouldn't take a lot more training than I do at present, and then move on to the Sprint and hopefully the Olympic.
Anyone been involved in one, either as a competitor, partner of competitor etc and can offer any useful advice.
There is one in Cheshire in September which I'm interested in...
