All three of these events involve long distances and are typically done one right after the other. After each leg, competitors have to change into their gear for the next event as quickly as possible. The first triathlon took place more than 50 years ago, and today, they are regularly held around the world. Anyone considering competing in a triathlon needs to begin a rigorous training regimen and learn how to adjust their diet to get proper nutrition during training and on competition day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Swimming<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most triathlon swimming events are a little less than a mile long and take place in open water. Many competitors find this to be the most challenging part of the entire event. Learning to successfully complete this leg includes learning how to swim in open water and what stroke works best.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.formswim.com\/blogs\/all\/triathlon-swimming-strokes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming Strokes and Techniques for Triathlon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Most competitors believe that the front stroke is the best swimming stroke to use during a triathlon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usms.org\/-\/media\/usms\/pdfs\/ebooks\/us%20masters%20swimming%209%20swim%20tips%20for%20triathletes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine Swim Tips for Beginner Triathletes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: It&#8217;s important to remember that most triathlons use open water, not pools, for the swimming portion of the event.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icanswimfast.com\/fundamentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fundamentals of Triathlon Swimming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Those in training need to be able to identify their weaknesses so they know what to work on before the event.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swimgym.com\/fast-lane\/3-reasons-why-swimming-is-the-triathlon-bottleneck-how-to-change-that\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three Reasons Why Swimming Is the Triathlon Bottleneck and How to Change That<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Swimming is the most difficult event for many competitors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fastswimacademy.com\/triathlon-swim-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Survive a Triathlon Swim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The mass start is the most difficult part of the swim for many people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4seasons-club.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Quick-Facts-About-Swimming.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick Facts About Swimming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The sidestroke is one of the slowest\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/categories\/865_2772\/bikinis.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">swim<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0strokes and therefore not a great choice for a triathlon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swimswam.com\/the-myth-of-triathlon-swimming-swimming-is-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Myth of Triathlon Swimming: Swimming Is Swimming<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The good news is that at its heart, swimming in a triathlon is much like any other kind of swimming.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chasethewater.com\/what-is-a-good-triathlon-beginner-swim-time-data-included\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Good Triathlon Beginner Swim Time?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Most beginners aim to keep their time under 20 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimnow.co.uk\/triathlon\/swimming-for-triathlon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming for a Triathlon: Six Pro Tips to Put You at the Front of the Pack<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For some competitors, swimming is their best event.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/triathlons.thefuntimesguide.com\/swim_waves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing With Wind and Waves During Triathlon Swim Training and Competition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: One of the challenges of open-water swimming is dealing with the effects of the weather.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cycling<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bicycling portion of the triathlon lasts for almost 25 miles.
