The days preceding a first triathlon can be nerve-wracking for first time triathletes. It’s important to be familiar with the race course on race day, but don’t squeeze in some last-minute training based on new information you learn about the race the day before the event.

In the study, 25 athletes trained for an hour five days a week for six weeks at a high-intensity level of 75 to 85 percent (Mora 1993). Thus triathletes training for longer distances might do better with more tapering; older triathletes might also need more tapering.
