This being the last leg of a triathlon when you are already close to empty on energy is a challenge. Again, it comes down to practicing to build the necessary endurance. I started out with short distances to build my confidence, a pair of good
running shoes, and my favorite music on an ipod. Keep in mind, however that during a race your ipod or any other similar device is strictly prohibited. there are a multitude of beginner
running programs for free out there.
