Triathlon Clothing: Wear or carry

In the sport of triathlon, there is no doubt that most of the game have problems with. Outside of swimming, cycling and running, swimming makes people the most problems at the moment. Whether as a terrible anxiety in the water, and little upper body strength, every weakness in swimming is multiplied by three. If you have a malfunction, you can always get ahead, more with cycling. If you are a terrible swimmer, who will fight Water resistance against what you owe. It is not unusual to see top athletes in marathons impressive facility unable to swim two lengths in the pool without stopping.

Also have a swim coach to help correct your form, it can be anything you can do that will make the difference between stopping in mid-swimming, or solid finish with energy to spare for the next two events of the race.

If you are a poor swimmer or a beginner, triathlon, listen to this … You should get a wetsuit if you're running. A good combination will allow all addresses in the shoulders, chest and legs while providing maximum buoyancy. When you float high in the water, go faster and save energy period.

So you know you need a wetsuit, but this type, what brand you wear when, and how much to spend?

USAT guidelines that anyone can wear a suit, if the water temperature is 78 degrees or less. You are invited to bring a combination if the temperature is 79 degrees to 84 degrees, but are not eligible for prizes. Anything 85 degrees or more combinations are not allowed.

Therefore, if the water is 78 or less, a wet suit – even a short sprint. You will be much faster a wetsuit and saves energy. Of course, we also must address in the Transitional-1 to the bike, but if well practiced, more than offsetting time extra transition.

For those who are not swimmers, the combinations can (and should) give you more confidence. Have you ever tried to swim under water in the suit? Otherwise, try a day. You get back up like a cork! This is great for someone who is afraid of drowning.

Then make sure you have a combination of triathlon. It's fun to see people using their body board, surf or any combination of diving. This is not done for our sport. So do not delve into the garage to find your old wetsuit, will not work. They are too thick and limit their mobility and speed in the water.

Third Instead, it does not matter the brand that appears. The main concern is whether or not. You can spend all the money in the world in the best combination, but if not properly adjusted, will slow. Must be comfortable, but should not restrict breathing or choking at the neck. Too loose and water will reduce the speed. If you try a brand and it just does not fit, try another. With so many options you will find correct.

Fourth, I like the style of the arms full of combinations. They usually have a long-john style, which means that his legs were long, but without sleeves. Long sleeves I restrict my career, but do not. In fact, according the manufacturer (Quintana Roo), long sleeves really help you go faster because it increases the water in your arms "trap" to exit. It really depends on what type is obtained. Try some and see what you like.

Finally, the triathlon is a mental sport. If the carbon fiber frame makes you think we fast, you do. If new running shoes that will make you think fast, do it. And if the suit makes you think you're going faster, you do.
