Req 4c2 — Aquathlon Run Skills

In aquathlon, the run begins after the swim, so your legs may feel strange at first and your breathing may still be settling. Good run habits help you regain rhythm quickly.

Requirement 4c2a

Warmups prepare you to move well. Cooldowns help you recover. Hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, and rest make those efforts sustainable across weeks of training.

Requirement 4c2b

Safe positioning

Use sidewalks or paths when possible. Without them, face traffic so you can see approaching vehicles.

Safe visibility

Wear bright or reflective gear and expect low-light conditions to make you harder to notice.

Safe awareness

Stay alert at driveways, intersections, and course crossings. Tired runners still need good judgment.

Requirement 4c2c

These drills build coordination, mobility, and better movement patterns.
