Training > Cycling
The cycle section of a triathlon usually makes up at least 50% (in time) of the race, so it really is vital to your success and continued improvement to work on this aspect of the sport.

Spring/summer sessions

Spinning is a great way to keep fit at any time of year, but particularly in winter when the dark evenings make it difficult to get out. Many leisure centres in Pembrokeshire offer spin sessions so ask at your local centre and give it a try. From November to March the club usually encourages members to book onto a specific session: please check the forum for details.
