Publisher's Synopsis
This title will guide any triathlete who wished to finish his or her first half-distance triathlon from the beginning of the preparation until race day. The half-distance triathlon consists of a 1.2-mile swim, 56 miles of cycling and a 13.1-mile run. It is anything but an easy option, but it represents a fascinating challenge for any well-trained endurance athlete. Considered a long course, it covers more miles than the Olympic distance and provides the perfect stepping stone to the ITU long distance races and even the ultra distance Ironman triathlon.
