Getting Started

One of the biggest mistakes amateur triathletes make isn’t in training — it’s in planning. It’s easy to get excited and sign up for everything . A local race pops up. A friend is racing. The calendar fills quickly. Suddenly, you’re racing every few weeks and wondering why you feel flat, injured, or burned out by mid-season. That’s where A, B, and C race prioritization comes in.

But winter doesn’t have to mean losing fitness or motivation — it’s the perfect time to shift your focus, build strength, and work on the fundamentals that will pay off when race season returns. Whether you’re training for your first sprint triathlon or preparing for a full season ahead, having a solid indoor setup can make all the difference. Here’s what to cons
