7. Race-Day Challenge

Aquathlon Simulation

7c.
Aquathlon (swim 100 m and run 1 km)

Aquathlon is simpler in gear but still demanding because you leave the water and begin running while your breathing and legs are adjusting.

Keys to doing this well

  • keep the swim smooth enough that you can think clearly in transition
  • move efficiently from wet feet to running form
  • let your first running steps settle before you try to speed up
