Triathlon: Do not do it if you have not practiced it!


“Do not do it if you have not practiced it,” it is a phrase applied to any kind of performance and applies to triathlon.  During a performance we cannot try different things from what we have practiced unless it is our second option after the first one failed.  Triathlon is “practiced” in Mexico by overweight people and "practicing" triathlon in those circumstances is against their own health.  In regular circumstances triathlon taxes our whole body and mind, and performing in a triathlon when one is overweight can cause damage to our body: heart, bones (legs, hips, etc.) and so on.  Recovery from a triathlon is very slow if we do it overweight or without the proper training (being fit is part of the objectives of training).  But let’s talk about the supposed trained athletes.
There is a nice research done by Global Cycling Network which gave light on, “do not do it if you have not practiced it:"

Michel Jouvet, Medaille d’Ore en Sciences in France would say; “Il y a un Dieu pour celui qui cherche.”  As Albert Einstein would say:
The only justification for our concepts and system of concepts is that they serve to represent the complex of our experiences; beyond this they have no legitimacy. I am convinced that the philosophers have had a harmful effect upon the progress of scientific thinking in removing certain fundamental concepts from the domain of empiricism, where they are under our control, to the intangible heights of the a priori. For even if it should appear that the universe of ideas cannot be deduced from experience by logical means, but is, in a sense, a creation of the human mind, without which no science is possible, nevertheless this universe of ideas is just as little independent of the nature of our experiences as clothes are of the form of the human body. This is particularly true of our concepts of time and space, which physicists have been obliged by the facts to bring down from the Olympus of the a priori in order to adjust them and put them in a serviceable condition.

“Obliged by the facts to bring down from the Olympus.” This is like stopping fake news if you want to do research.  Interestingly, the experiment says: Do not do it if you have not practiced it!  The subject tested did not practice cadence above 90 rpm, so he is not fit for that specific work.  His lactate increased dramatically.  I will show you a video of two female triathletes going uphill, 13 and 15 years of age, practicing cadence going uphill.  95-100 rpm, 8% average grade going uphill.
