FROM THE EDITOR...
Triathlon is so much more than swim-bike-run. It’s the tingling of nerves you get as you pull your wetsuit on for an open-water training swim (even though you know you’ll love it once you’re in!). It’s the home-baked flapjacks your club-mates share on long bike rides. It’s early starts on race mornings, sharing tips with other athletes in transition, feeling like a Brownlee as you cross the finish line and proudly wearing your race tee for weeks afterwards. When dhb asked if we’d partner with them to put together this beginner’s guide to triathlon, we were excited to see what they would come up with. After all, in a sport renowned for its expensive kit, dhb have consistently developed quality training and race apparel at wallet- and beginner-friendly prices, which is one of the key things that’ll help newcomers access the sport. Inside, as well as details on the new dhb range, you’ll find pro tips, the dos and don’ts of triathlon and advice on training, gear and nutrition. We hope you enjoy it and from all of us at 220 and dhb – welcome to triathlon, we hope you have fun!
