Triathlon – Wetsuits For Triathlons
Triathlons can be a demanding sport and with all that training for the swimming, cycling and running portion of the competition. Generally the consideration of a good wetsuit for the triathlon is an afterthought. For the swimming segment to be successful, there are many things to consider about a wetsuit.
Some triathlon governing bodies and certain events have regulations about whether a wetsuit is permitted. Most allow you to wear a wetsuit if the water is below or 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Rules and regulations may also differ in the different categories, such as children’s section, professionals and swim length. Be sure to check out the regulations and ask an official if in doubt. Don’t wait until race day to find out the time spent training and getting used to your wetsuit is wasted.
With many triathlons, being held in open water lakes, or the ocean, the conditions may be cold. This is wear a good wetsuit will not only be an advantage for keeping warm, but to also conserve your energy for the race. Coping with the cold will make the swim not only more physically challenging, but also mentally draining.
A good wetsuit can also help you in the bike section as well. If your legs and arms are numb from the cold swim, trying to ride the bike strait away is painful. A wetsuit will make the transition from cold water swim to the bike easier.
Wearing a good wetsuit can also help you be more streamlined in the water. For weak swimmers, or if you are physically tired a wetsuit can help you stay afloat a little bit easier. Of course it doesn’t compensate for a safety vest and depends on the thickness of the wetsuit. A thicker wetsuit may be warmer and buoyant, but it can hinder your movement for swimming.
Plus you will never have to fight inclement weather, biting dogs, or speeding automobiles. Better still, it’s simply more convenient in so many ways.
Maybe you have little kids at home and if you choose to do some treadmill training, you won’t have to worry about having someone look after your kids every single time you go for a run.
Athletes engaged in heavy endurance training often seek additional nutritional strategies to help maximize performance, however as with any intervention or use of supplementation, individual responses will vary. Athletes should monitor their caffeine dosage strategy before putting it to the test in a competition. Caffeine can benefit you in a race but does not replace a sound everyday diet
