Hi all
I'm a 44 (soon 45) year old, male, who swam competitively when young (to club standard but not county). I did some masters swimming in my 20s (not quick at all for age but I have reasonable technique compared to average person), and then gave that up and became a MAMIL and did loads of social cycling with friends (albeit quite intense). I then stopped that and did a load of running (not in a club).
So I'm a social athlete. My 1500m swim time is around 25 mins, 10km run around 42 mins (did a 1:32 half) and 40km flat ride on bike is around 1 HR 10 mins (riding on roads with traffic. Never done a time trial).
I'm thinking of giving a triathlon a go. I don't want to spend silly amounts. I'm happy with my normal road bike (Enigma Evade). What would I need to buy? Simply a Tri suit?
I have a Garmin 935 watch and 530 edge cycle computer. I use Garmin Connect and Strava. But neither offer amazing swim analysis of my pool swims. Garmin connect on web at least gives me splits of each length (app doesn't though) but it's still a bit basic. Had a look at Training Peaks which doesn't seem to offer analysis by length (unless I manually press the lap button each length and I don't want to do that when tumble turning).
What website or software do people use for swim analysis?
Thanks in advance for help
