Triathlon Basics
Leslie Williams: Hi, I am Leslie Williams, a triathlete and I am teaching you how to train for a Triathlon. Want to go over a little bit of general information about what a Triathlon is? It is swim and then a bike and then a run. A Triathlon always starts with the swim and then you would run through transition area and you get on to bike, you do the bike segment and you come back to the transition area and go out on the run and then you hit the finish line.

Very very fun event. There are different kinds of Triathlon, one of the most popular kinds is the International or Olympic Distance that is a 1.

5 km swim, a 30 km bike ride, mountain bike ride and a 10 km trail run. There are also a lot of benefits to Triathlon that dont necessarily happen on race day, you do a lot of training you are going to get really fit, you are going to need a lot of other really great people who are outdoorsy and you want to spend time with them. Triathlon is a very, very social event and you get a lot of benefits out of that and it's a really healthy culture to get involved in.
