WEEK 4, Day 3: 25-40 minute bike ride. Do you ride with toe cages or clipless pedals? If you don't, you might want to look into getting yourself some. These will help you get some power out of your up-stroke as well as your down-stroke. Today's swimming tip: Do you need a wetsuit? Not necessarily; it depends on how warm the water is where you'll be doing your triathlon. But for both speed and safety reasons, wetsuits have become pretty standard for triathletes. Wetsuits give you extra buoyancy and less drag, so you swim faster and stay warmer. Choose a wetsuit designed specifically for swimming, not water-skiing, windsurfing, or diving (these are too thick and stiff for swimming in).
