I agree the transitions are the biggest learning curves. Special shoes, one pc no change Tri suits, etc, etc. Women need to learn to pee in the grass as there putting on there shoes and things like that. You can call it gross but a triathalon is zero wasted time and energy. Gel energy paks at the tansition is another lesson learned. Giant bottles of water can cause stomach problems.

My wife used to have problems with the swim, she didn't like all the swimmers bumping into and sometimes running over her, it really freaked her out
Ask her how to make the legs work after riding the bike. When I jumped off the bike I had to hold on to it like a walker, I couldn't even stand up! And to be honest I hurt my left knee about 3 weeks ago, went to the Doctor and had an MRI and will find out Wednesday if I tore my meniscus again. So I haven't done any riding or running only swimming since then. The doc said if it doesn't hurt then I could do the event but not to practice any. Luckily it didn't bother me during the event, the 1000mg of Tylenol helped!
