Practice Triathlon

PRACTICE TRIATHLON

This past Sunday we had our practice triathlon. Yes, we come in all ages, shapes and sizes. If we can do it... Seriously, you can to!

Ever wonder what goes into a practice triathlon?









1) SETUP - BRIEFING
Setup is important. You have to arrange your things for a quick transition from one event to another. There is also a quick briefing about the conditions and the route.




2. SWIM
The first event of the triathlon is swim. Normally we start on land and run into the water, this time around we decided to start in the water. Our swim route was to the windsock and back. About 500m swim.



3. BIKE
After swimming, you run to your transition area, put on your socks, shoes, helmet, sunglasses, grab your bike and go! This time out, we rode from Kaimana Beach park, over Diamond head through Kalaha and to the Aloha gas station, and back (TWICE!)


4. RUN
The last event of the triathlon. Normally a quick 3 mile run in itself, but after swimming and going over Diamond Head 4 times sometimes your legs and calves don't like to work as they normally do. Just breathe and push hard until you feel your kick come on!



5. AFTER PARTY
Yes! Its time to celebrate! High 5's, hugs, and food are in order! This is Team Jet Hawaii training group and yes, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Go Team!
You're all rockstars!

Until next time.
