This PB-busting can involve besting your previous splits at a race, or beating a distance-specific time in any of triathlon\u2019s distances.<\/p>\n
The beauty of tri\u2019s regimented distances and largely non-drafting nature means that you can smash a PB on a different course to the one in which you set your best, so beating your Olympic-distance time at the classic Windsor Triathlon<\/strong> (11 June) or at the logistical marvel that is the London Triathlon<\/strong> (5-6 August) is a valid victory.<\/p>\n

And further afield? Bag a slot at Challenge Roth<\/strong> (25 June) and race in front of 200,000 raucous Germans, or go Scandi and hit Ironman Kalmar<\/strong> (19 August) in Sweden, where Alistair Brownlee<\/strong><\/a> smashed the British Ironman record<\/strong><\/a> in 2022, or Ironman Copenhagen<\/strong> (20 August). Or both!<\/p>\n
