If you can, get proper triathlon cycle shoes or road bike shoes and cleats for your bike. This allows you to use your pedal stroke more efficiently and develop a more powerful pedal stroke compared to looser cages.

To make the most of your cleats, incorporate cycling drills into your warm up and cool down in bike training. One-leg drills are best done on a turbo trainer. This drill encourages you to not only push down on the pedal but develop a smooth circular motion, ideally eliminating the 'dead spot' at the back/top of your pedal stroke which signals a sub-optimal technique.

Swimming is in many ways the hardest part of a triathlon for those approaching the sport for the first time. Many people don't have a strong swimming background prior to starting. It is also much more of a technical sport than running or cycling with stroke technique and effeciency being critical to a good performance. Finally, the open water scenario adds a further dimension which often inspires more than a little trepidation.
