So, you have committed. Well, here's a general rundown on the appliances needed. Generally, players are required to wear a swimming cap provided by the event organizers, they are usually bright in color for safety reasons and can be different colours to signify different categories. normal wetsuits designed for snorkeling etc won't provide ideal benefits in a triathlon because the sleeves limit the arm movements to stop a comfortable stroke during the swim. They also have longer zippers and can have wrist and ankle zippers to help quicker removal in the transition. Triathlon wetsuit also have a smooth delicate surface to reduce water friction and permit a faster speed through the water. The obvious main part for the cycle is the bike. The triathlon bike is a variant of the road bike and the most important difference is the addition of tri-bars or aero-bars. Because triathletes cannot draft as can be done in cycling events, aerodynamics plays a giant part in the cycling leg of the triathlon. Frame tubes are oval instead of round and the wheels could have less spokes or maybe be carbon fibre tri spokes or discs. Tri-bars or aero-bars are handlebars engineered to reduce the wind drag on a cycle rider. They're attached to the handlebars and have rests for the riders forearms while the hands are stretched forward to hold the center bars. This keeps the elbows nearer to the body and lowers the torso to permit for better aerodynamics. Of course, other equipment required include the cycle helmet, the cycling clothing and triathlon shoes. Triathlon shoes are similar to cycling shoes in that they have automatic binding cleats that allow them to clip into the pedals. Tri shoes are optimized for this approach in that they could be padded to allow the athlete more comfort while not wearing socks after the swim, they could have holes in them to allow the water from the swim to empty easily, and might have only 1 or 2 Velcro straps instead of three to make allowance for straightforwardness of fastening while cycling.
