Triathlon Bike vs Road Bike

No Comments »

It’s the question a beginner triathlete will ask themselves sooner or later. Which is better, a triathlon specific bike or a road bike? Which will make me faster? What’s the difference? How much do they cost?

In the video I asked my good friend and personal bike mechanic, Brian Neale to show me a few of the differences between my tri bike and his road bike.

Entering my first Triathlon, can someone give me advice on proper training and equipment?

No Comments »

I’m going to enter in my first Triathlon in about 4 months and I was searching for some advice. I have no idea what I’m in store for so I was hoping that someone can give me some tips on training, equipment, etc. or any other sort of advice. Also, I have no idea what kind of bike to get. I don’t want to spend too much though
It’s a .75k swim, 20k bike, and 5k run

Not sure what distance you’re doing, or what you’re looking to spend on a bike. There are tri specific bikes, but I’d avoid them if you haven’t been riding a lot in the past. They are harder to handle, but will be more aerodynamic. I’d get a decent road bike that fits, and a set of aero bars if you want to ride more flat. This will give you about a 1 mph speed boost at the same effort (that’s what I’ve always heard, and feel like it’s accurate)

As for training, one of the best things I’ve found is to practice a "brick". Especially the bike/run segment. What this means is one day you go for a hard 10 mile ride and then get home, jump off the bike, put on your shoes and go for a 2 mile run. That’s what I try to do if I’m training for a sprint tri where the distances are around 800m/22km/5km.

For swimming, if you can get into an open water to swim, that’s probably best. If not, I try to be able to swim at least 1.5 the distance the event will be in the pool. On race day, stay to the outside, unless you’re a great swimmer b/c it will be a bit chaotic at the start. My first tri I had my goggles knocked off and then I was dunked and I tried to fix them, so it was a good initiation.

Just have fun and try to stay relaxed!
