Breaking the fourth discipline of triathlon

Gold Coast, Nov. 2 (NsNewsWire) — On surface value, a triathlon comprises of three disciplines, but there’s another component to the sport that can make or break a race.

In addition to swim, bike and run, the transition between legs is known in the triathlon world as the fourth discipline.

It involves a change of equipment, shift of focus and a level of speed and accuracy that athletes can’t afford to underestimate, especially in a sprint race like GC2018.

As athlete-cum-official, ITU Technical Delegate Shanelle Barrett has seen both sides of the sport and knows how vital the transition can be to achieve ultimate success.
