Instruction from Iron Babes: 3 Steps to Triathlon Startup

A new year, new goals, a new stage of life are ahead, which means a million chances to realize even the most grandiose idea. Why don’t you take a swing at a triathlon start? Just don’t answer right away, because you still have a whole holiday week to think about it.

Together with the Iron Babes, the most adorable female triathlon team, Iron Babes by World Class, we wish you to make the right decision and come over to the “bright side” of triathlon addicts. In our final New Year’s digest, we’ve gathered all the most popular articles on the #Triathlon tag that came out on “Championship” in the past year, added some magic and shots in evening gowns to make you realize that women’s triathlon is insanely beautiful. Thus the result is a manual whose reading is guaranteed to immerse you in a world of road bikes, wetsuits, fitness bracelets and incredible new acquaintances.

Step 1: Learn what a triathlon is

Maybe the information on the Internet will not be enough for you and you will go to a trial training session at a fitness club. I will note from personal experience that an INDOOR triathlon start is the best way to understand the entire triathlon philosophy. It only sounds simple: “You have to swim 10 minutes non-stop, bike 30 minutes, and run 20 minutes…” Read how it really was, in the “Editor’s Trial” section.

Did you read it? Or maybe you’ve even signed up for a trial triathlon training session already? It’s time to be inspired by the stories of the most ordinary people for whom triathlon is a lifelong favorite (or maybe just one vibrant and powerful life stage, who knows?).

Step 2: Get inspired by the stories of real people. Experience it

Start your immersion into the world of triathlon athletes by reading an interview with our team coach Vika Shubina. Why, and most importantly, how did Vika, so petite and so feminine, overcome 5 IRONMAN distances?

How did triathlon turn her life around? Answers to these and many other questions are already in the material.

Triathlon is not only a way to prove to yourself that you can do much more. Triathlon is also a way to test yourself, to question our human capabilities, to test-drive all the resources of your body. On April 24, Vladimir Voloshin started to overcome 5 official distances of the IRONMAN triathlon race in the walls of the Classe mondiale fitness club “City of Capitals”. The businessman set himself a truly incredible goal: to swim 19 kilometers, bike 900 kilometers and run 211 kilometers in 80 hours. And all this with breaks only for an hour’s sleep. Did it work or not? Answers in the material.
