Req 4a — Triathlon Roadmap
4.
Option A—Triathlon.
Triathlon
Triathlon asks you to connect all three disciplines in sequence. This overview page helps you see the whole branch before you dive into the details.
What You’ll Complete
- Req 4a1 — Triathlon Swim Skills: Build the swim foundation, including swimming readiness, Safe Swim Defense, and open-water awareness.
- Req 4a2 — Triathlon Bike Skills: Learn how to ride predictably, check your bike, and gear up safely for the cycling section.
- Req 4a3 — Triathlon Run Skills: Practice run warmups, rules of the road, and drills that improve form and efficiency.
A good way to approach this branch is to think of it in order from highest consequence to highest fatigue. Swimming needs the strongest safety mindset. Biking demands the most equipment awareness. Running often happens when you are already tired, so technique and judgment matter.
How to prepare for the triathlon branch
Three things to gather before you start
- Water confidence: Make sure your swimming skills are current and supervised.
- Bike readiness: Confirm that your bicycle fits and passes a safety check.
- Run routine: Be ready to demonstrate warmups, drills, and safe road habits.
