Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever done an Indoor Triathlon? It consists of a run on a treadmill, an indoor row and a distance on an exercise bike. Sounds quite interesting if you can only train in gym over the winter.

Ian.

I've heard of a row, then bike then 10k run.

Sounds like it takes the fun out of it (transition..)

I saw an indoor one on TV a few years back, somewhere in France I think it was. It was at a velodrome that had an indoor running track within it, and then they'd put in a temporary swimming pool inside the running track. I can't remember the distances they did, but it was obviously of the sprint variety.

As in, row with the other half?

I did one about two years ago. They gave you the choice of what order you wanted to do it in which made it a bit more interesting. I opted for bike, run , row. All on machines, made for an interesting diversion, especially in winter.
