Knowing how to ride a bike is one thing, but having the ability to comfortably and safely share the road with other cyclists requires another level of skill.
These basic handling techniques will help you enjoy the transition from bike rider to fullblown cyclist, and, as an added bonus, can help save a little time on race day.
Whether riding on an open road or in a race, always look over your shoulder before swinging from one side of the road to the other. Before carving through a corner, always check your blind spot, especially in a race since the noise created by fellow cyclists isn't always enough to alert you of their presence.
Openwater swimming tips from the pros
Editor note: In this post from Triathlete magazine, pros Julie Dibens and James Cunnama share five rules of a successful openwater swim.
"In the pool, you're in a lane by yourself. In a triathlon, you have 50, 100, even 200 people trying to get to the same spot.
It's hard to stay in a straight line. You have to figure out how to make the most of it and get a draft," says Dibens."Don't hang on to a boat, kayak or buoy [before a deep water start]," adds Cunnama. "It doesn't make a good start because something is in your way. It's hard to get a good kick in. Get some space."
