CVC San Diego Triathlon

One of the biggest things holding beginners back from doing their first triathlon? Not knowing what gear they actually need. 🚴🏊🏃

asked Steven what what felt most intimidating about getting started, and his answer was so real: figuring out all the equipment.

Because when you’re new to triathlon, it can feel like everyone else already knows the rules, the gear, and exactly what to buy.

But the truth is… most people start out confused.

That’s why clinics like this matter. You get to ask questions, learn what’s actually necessary, and realize you probably need a lot less than you think to begin.

You do not need to have it all figured out before your first race. You just need a place to start.

Your bike shouldn’t hurt you. 🚴🏼‍♀️

asked expert bike fitter Dean Sprague, owner of Pedal Power Perform Lab in Pacific Beach , about the signs you may need a bike fit, and this is such an important conversation for cyclists and triathletes to hear.

A lot of people assume discomfort on the bike is just part of riding… but it’s not.

If you’re dealing with things like: numb hands, knee pain, saddle discomfort, back pain, or feeling like you can never quite get comfortable on your bike, your setup may be the problem.

A proper bike fit can help you ride more comfortably, more efficiently, and with a whole lot less suffering. 🙃

You do not need to just “tough it out.” Your bike should work with your body, not against it.

One of the best reasons to come to a triathlon clinic before your first race? You get to learn the stuff nobody tells beginners. 👀

In this clip, Ironman triathlete Erin Nye () asks an attendee what he hopes to learn from the clinic, and his answer was how to be more efficient in transitions.

Because for a lot of first-timers, it’s not just the swim, bike, or run that feels intimidating… it’s all the little in-between parts too.

What do I wear? Where does my stuff go? How do I not waste time in transition looking confused and slightly feral? 😅

That’s exactly why these clinics matter.

They help take triathlon from “this seems overwhelming” to “okay wait… I think I could actually do this.”
If you’ve never done a triathlon before, our next clinic is for you. 🤍

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It is a reminder of sacrifice, courage, and the freedoms we are fortunate to carry with us every day.

As we run, ride, swim, race, gather with family, or enjoy time outdoors today, may we do it with gratitude in our hearts for those who never made it home.

We remember.

We honor.

We are grateful.
