Triathlon is a sport predicated on endurance, simple as that. This is not an easy sport - only the strong survive, and pluckiness combined with stamina and proper training can guide competitors to the finish sooner than others. And you can find yourself placing very well if you make it a point to choose the right equipment.
You shouldn't be too concerned about budget, as triathlon gear usually comes cheap - in cost, not quality. Good equipment choice, really, is one of the best ways to ensure yourself of at least a solid performance.
The Triathlon Bike
There are no hard, fast rules when it comes to triathlon bikes. But of course there are bikes that could aid in your overall performance.
Three things would be most necessitous when choosing a triathlon bike - the distance of the event, frequency of use and weight of bike. There are many bikes to choose from but here are just a few - aluminum frame, titanium frame, steel frame and carbon fiber frame bikes. When choosing wheels for your bike, a set of 650c wheels would be best for small and average-sized riders, while bigger/taller riders would perform best with 700c's.
What Running Shoes To Use?
When shopping for running shoes, you must consider your foot shape and size and their inward rolling motion. In the sport of triathlon, running usually comes last. This is when all your energy is consumed. It is best that your running shoes help deliver you towards the finish line.
Triathlon Suit
This may be a full-length wet suit or a two-piece that vary in length, style and function. There are literally thousands of choices for you, be sure that you fit several types before settling on your last pick. You wouldn't want to be brought down, though, by a saggy wet suit brought down by heavy material. Wearing such suits is a shortcut to defeat. These suits will only encumber you until you reach the finish line. Look and feel plays a very influential part in the outcome of these events, so be sure the clothing is easy to wear and easy to remove or replace.
Your suit's layout and material should be your prime consideration, likewise its panels and seals.
But the fit would really dictate the look and the feel. A good fit means free, unencumbered movement while running. The fitter it gets and the more sealed openings are-the better. Snuggers usually are the best choices. As the name implies, they have a tight yet comfortable fit and allow lots of free space for movement.
Regarding the wetsuit, thickness is not really that recommended. Thinner materials must be used in places where rigid actions are done. The chest area, however, must be thick as this is where swimming actions lead to the utmost of pressure exerted onto it. The ankle area must be made with flexible, stretchable material.
Goggles The last essential piece of equipment is a steadfast pair of goggles for added water visibility. Anti-glare, shock-resistant and anti-fog goggles are some of the best sellers on the market.
