What do I need for my first triathlon?

For your first triathlon you need suitable clothing and equipment, sufficient preparation and good physical fitness. What you should pay attention to in detail:

First of all, you should have the right triathlon clothing and equipment. You will need a suitable swimsuit, a bike and helmet, comfortable running shoes and well-fitting clothing to switch between disciplines. With a triathlon suit you can minimize the changing time.

Secondly, you should prepare yourself sufficiently for the competition by exercising regularly and improving your physical fitness. Make sure you are safe and comfortable in each discipline. Also practice switching between disciplines.

Third, it's important to optimize your diet leading up to the triathlon. You need enough energy and nutrients to complete the challenge.

And last but not least: Don't forget that triathlon should above all be fun! Don't put yourself under pressure and remember that everyone starts small. Just enjoy the challenge and the feeling of testing your limits.

Are you ready for your first triathlon? Awesome, that's a great decision!
