Going from dedicated cyclist to first-time triathlete is exciting - but it can be scary too. With that in mind, we’ve put together this beginner triathlon guide for cyclists who want to tackle the ultimate in endurance sports. You’ll find info about training plans, the gear you’ll need, nutrition advice, mental prep and injury-prevention tips, plus advice on how to connect with the triathlon community. To get the confidence and know-how needed to start turning your cycling passion into triathlon success, read on.
A sprint triathlon features a 750m swim, 20km bike ride, and 5km run, making it a more accessible challenge than longer races. It typically takes from under an hour for elites to around two hours for beginners, with training helping participants achieve their goals at their own pace.
Triathlon blends three basic actions - swim, bike, and run - into race formats that stretch from quick twenty‑minute efforts to multi‑day epics. That spread keeps the sport fresh; once you conquer one goal, a new distance is waiting.
Thinking of tackling your first triathlon? Let’s look at what they are, explore the different triathlon distances – from sprint triathlons to 70.3 triathlons and the iconic IRONMAN races – and discuss essential triathlon gear for beginners. And we’ll provide tips for creating a beginner triathlon workout plan that will equip you to start your journey with confidence and cross that finish line with pride.
