Triathlon terms

January 17, 2007

IM: Ironman= 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run = 140.6 miles

HIM: Half Ironman= 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run = 70.3 miles

Transition: aka T1 and T2: change (meaning or for me, a change of clothes :) ) from swim-to-bike and bike-to-run

Cadence: the speed at which a cyclist is pedalling/turning the pedals

Bonking: when you didn’t eat or drink enough to sustain your workout, or your electrolyes are out of whack; no power to move forward.
