Presentar su programa de entrenamiento regular.

• Sit down with a calendar and determine on which days of the week you can put time aside for your training.

• You should train on a different sport each day. For example, swim one day, rest the next day, bike the next, rest the next, and run on the following day. I think that's five days, right? You've probably earned a rest until the next week.

• Don't forget to ease into a training program, especially if you have not had a regular training program.

• Commit yourself to this schedule, and follow it.

• And do not forget to: Enjoy!

3c

Hacer una lista del equipo, incluidas las bicicletas, calzado y prendas de vestir.

Here are some thoughts on the equipment you may need to get you to the finish line.

There are variations in Triathlons

Some triathlons are Canoe/kayak, mountain bike, and run, with various distances.

Essential equipment for the kayak leg includes a kayak or sea kayak (or any canoe for the beginner) paddle, lifejacket (you will not be able to compete without one), helmet if needed, and sun-glasses.

For the Swim

• Swimsuit — A snug-fit suit will reduce drag in the water. This can be a standard swimsuit or you can get a specialized tri suit which also has bike-type shorts and a form-fitting top which you can wear through the entire race.

• Goggles — Make sure they fit well and allow you to see.

• Swim Cap — Usually the race provides this, however you may want one when you train.

• Wetsuit — (Optional, unless you train or race in cold water). A wetsuit helps keep you warm and buoyant and preserves some of your energy for the rest of the race.

• Lubricant — (Optional). Lubricants helps when removing the wetsuit. It also prevents chafing from clothing. (Petroleum-based products such as Vaseline can degrade wetsuit material and are therefore not recommended.)

• Anti-Fog Solution or Spray — (Optional but works wonders to keep your goggles from fogging up, especially in cold water).

For the Bike

• Bike — A road bike's lighter frame and narrower tires will be faster than a mountain bike, but lots of first-timers use whatever kind of bike they have.

• Shoes — These can be your running shoes used with toe clips on your pedals or rigid biking shoes with cleats that attach to the pedals. Stiffer soled bike shoes deliver more power to your pedal stroke and can prevent your feet from going numb as you ride.

• Helmet — Any approved bike helmet that fits. You will need one.

• Sunglasses — Protects your eyes from glare and grit on the road.

• Bike Gloves — For short (sprint-distance) races you can omit these to save time. Your hands probably won't feel the difference. It is nice to have on longer rides.

• Shirt — You may already be in your swimsuit or the top you wore in the swim. You may like to have a dry shirt on in cooler conditions.

• Bike Shorts — (Optional). You may wear a tri suit which has a thin pad for the entire race.

• Socks — (Optional). Cotton will cause blisters.

• Water Bottles — One, two. Depends on the distance and the temperature.

• Bike Pump — Attach one to your bike's frame.

• Spare Tube/Patch Kit — Keep in a small under-seat bag. Nothing is more frustrating than standing on the sidelines during a race with no way to fix your tire. You will also need to know how to fix a flat or change your tire.

• Bike Computer — (Optional). Nice to have to keep track of distance, time and speed.

For the Run

• Running Shoes — You can also add speed laces to save time.

• Socks — You will likely want socks for the run to prevent blisters.

• Sun Hat — Shade your face.

• Race Belt — (Optional). Allows you to attach your race number quickly after the bike leg.

For the canoe/kayak

• Aqua Shoes (or any shoe)
• Helmet
• Life jacket
• Canoe/kayak (sea kayak is best)
• Paddle
• Cold weather gear (if competing in cold weather)

For Transitions

• Towel — To dry off as well as to wipe your feet off between the swim and biking.

• Gels, Bars, Sports Drink — Keep nearby when you bike ride and run.

• Sunscreen — Apply before the bike or run so that you do not burn.

• Day Pack or Duffel Bag — You need to carry your stuff, right?

Other Gear to Consider

• Sports Watch — (Optional). This does not have to be expensive helps you with training and pacing.

• Heart Rate Monitor — (Optional). Helps keep you within your target heart-rate zone when you train.
