Coach's Diary: A New & Brilliant Triathlon Race Format! | Ep 563
Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast
What Distances Did Competitors Choose?
Rob details the swim (1–3 km), bike (40–120 km), and run (7–21 km) lap options and how they combine into varied race lengths.
A bit of a different episode this week. Coach Rob shares a behind-the-scenes look at Team OxygenAddict’s recent trip to Portugal for the Triton Race Series (https://tritonworldseries.com/https://tritonworldseries.com/).
The Triton format is something new and exciting: swim on Friday, bike on Saturday, run on Sunday, turning a triathlon into a full weekend festival of endurance sport.
In this episode, Rob talks through how the event format works, what made it such a great experience for the team, what it was like getting back on a start line himself after a few years away from racing and his thoughts on why events like Triton could be the future for age-group triathlon weekends.
