Generally the swim is the discipline that most beginners fear.<br \/>\nStart to the side to prevent bunching and hang in there.<br \/>\nIf you breathe to the right, start on the left hand side, that will enable\u00a0you to keep an eye on the field and the direction that they are going in.\u00a0The straighter you swim the better.<br \/>\nBefore you know it you will settle into your rhythm and you will be\u00a0exiting the water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>BIKE QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the difference between Triathlon bikes and regular road bikes?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.zawp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/felt-tri.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"163\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sbrsport.co.za\/?attachment_id=163\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/felt-tri.jpg?fit=240%2C243&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"240,243\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"felt tri\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/felt-tri.jpg?fit=240%2C243&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-163\" title=\"felt tri\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.zawp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/felt-tri.jpg?resize=240%2C243&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"243\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTriathlon bikes are designed with a different geometry than road bikes.<br \/>\nTriathlon bikes are more forward in their seat tubes (between 75-78\u00a0degrees) and are set up lower in the front end to provide a time trial \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 position.<br \/>\nA steeper seat tube angle emphasizes the quads more to save the use of\u00a0your run muscles so that you have more get up and go when you start<br \/>\nthe run portion of a triathlon.Regular road bikes have a slacker seat tube angle, from 72-74 degrees, and\u00a0are set up for all-purpose riding.<br \/>\nThey are designed to corner, climb, and sprint well. The road bike position is more upright and less aerodynamic than a time trial position.<br \/>\nA road bike position uses all of the leg muscles to provide as much power to the bike as possible.<\/li>\n<li>How\u00a0do I find the right position for me on my bike?<br \/>\nThe right position can be found by knowing your bike fit measurements.<br \/>\nTo be fitted for a bike, it&#8217;s best to go to a bike shop near you that\u00a0specializes in fitting.<br \/>\nLet them know what type of events you&#8217;ll be competing in and they will be\u00a0able to give you your measurements for a proper fit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>RUN QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How\u00a0do I prevent a side stitch while running? <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.zawp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"165\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sbrsport.co.za\/?attachment_id=165\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?fit=366%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"366,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"fredono felt\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?fit=366%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-165\" title=\"fredono felt\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.zawp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?resize=206%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?w=366&amp;ssl=1 366w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fredono-felt.jpg?resize=206%2C300&amp;ssl=1 206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMake sure that you are properly hydrated before you start the race,\u00a0and stay hydrated\u00a0 through the race.
