What Are Easy Triathlon Distances?
A person that is brand new to the world of triathlons needs to understand what the different lengths of races are so that they can train appropriately. The shortest of triathlon distances is the sprint triathlon. It consists of a very short swim, followed by a short bike ride and a very short run. Then it steps up to an olympic distance, then a half ironman and a full ironman. The distances double in each event and a person that is brand new would not even want to consider doing anything more than an olympic race. It will just be too much to start.
