"Are triathletes insane?" Cant believe that didn't make the list, unless the answer is self-evident 😂

it is, training for it is a proper autism imho

[@gluecksdrache2054]

Thank you for the great summarization.

[@alexandrabikes]

You missed bar plugs on roadworthiness of a road bike. I've seen more problems with that in transition than anything else.

[@greengonzonz]

Loved the very last question and answer. ❤👍

[@magnemmar4869]

Bare chests is dependent on the organization. USAT permits bare chests except at National and World events. Same for wetsuit temperature rules. Some orgs permit them in over 76F (only slightly over with a cutoff at 79ish), but you void your chances for awards and this is still forbidden at specific races even in USAT.

Team no socks for anything up to a 70.3 😁

Hello, My apologies if this is a repeated question, however, my six year old is going to do a triathlon in a few weeks. What can I do to train him in a fun way and have fun doing the race itself? Thanks! Leiva

The swim is the wettest part of the race the other parts are to dry

[@3WalkingPoles]

You haven't seen me running. 😂

[@Aeronwor]

Depends how much you need to pee..

[@sinancetinkaya]

You guys use porta potty? I thought diapers were used :)

[@andrewmcalister3462]

Gets heavy in the swim. :)
