WHAT TO KNOW
Preparing for a multi-sport event, like a triathlon, requires a well-thought-out checklist to ensure you're equipped for each segment. For the swimming portion, make sure to pack a comfortable swimsuit, a racing suit for streamlined performance, and goggles to protect your eyes. Transitioning to the bike portion, key items include a reliable bike, a sturdy helmet for safety, and bike shorts for comfort. Don't forget cycling shoes, sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun, and a bike jersey or tri-top. Hydration is crucial, so bring water bottles, and protect your skin with sunscreen. Spare tubes and a frame pump are essential for handling unexpected flat tires, and socks will keep your feet comfortable. Finally, for the running segment, choose supportive running shoes, a breathable running top, and a hat or visor to keep the sun off your face. More sunscreen is a must to reapply as needed. With this checklist, you’ll be well-prepared to tackle the event with confidence.
