None of them, a triathlon is very hard, about endurance, the only guy that would have a chance would be Lance Armstrong, because he bikes and has run a marathon already…

Question: While training for a triathlon should I use a wet suit while swimming indoors, or just outdoors?
I am training for a triathlon and I am not sure if I should wear a wet suit while training in an indoor pool or just a regular swim suit.

Answer by TZCoaching
Hey Josh,
Congrats on starting the training! When is the race?
You shouldn’t use a wet suit to swim indoors. Most pools are a little too warm (even if there not heated) to use a wet suit. Just use your regular swim suit and you’ll be fine.
If you get a chance, before the race try using your wet suit in a lake / ocean so you get the feel for it and get to break it in.
Good luck!

Question: Should I race the Xterra off-ride MTB triathlon in road cycling clip on shoes or my running shoes?
I completed my first road triathlon last week on a road bike with shimano SPD clip ins. I am competing in the Hawaii Xterra mountain Men Tri this weekend and I can’t afford new MTB clip in shoes. Should I use my road clip ins or my running shoes with regular pedals?
Answer:
Answer by cdaler
If you are used to clip ins then stick to clip ins, you will really miss the pedaling efficency if you try cycling in running shoes… But if you have to hike a bike much in road bike shoes it will probably kill your time. I would say look for some cheap mtb shoes, but you probably don’t have time to find any or break them in…
Good luck , hope you do well!
