In the last week it’s important not to over-do your training. It’s too late to get any fitter or faster, so don’t try and cram in any last minute mileage and intervals. Apart from the risk of injury, you will also end up feeling fatigued on race day.
If you’re new to the sport of triathlon, you will have realized that it is an expensive sport. Race entries, travel to races and equipment costs can be overwhelming, so it’s vital that you don’t waste money on inferior or unsuitable equipment.
