Jake Vita: My First Triathlon in 90 Days

Jake Vita: Mein erster Triathlon in 90 Tagen

90 Tage, um mich für einen Sprint-Triathlon vorzubereiten und in Form zu bringen? Was könnte da schon schiefgehen? Irgendwie habe ich es aber geschafft, mich in diese Situation zu bringen, nachdem ich von den Straßen-/Kriteriumsrennen, die ich in den letzten Jahren bestritten habe, etwas Abstand genommen habe …  

Es begann, als meine Freundin, eine Triathletin, mir kürzlich eine Freikarte für einen Sprint-Triathlon in meiner Heimatstadt Brighton and Hove anbot, worüber ich zunächst lachte und sagte: „Auf keinen Fall!“, nachdem ich sie die letzten drei Jahre über ihre Söckchen, ihr Pinkeln auf dem Fahrrad und die Tatsache, dass sie läuft und schwimmt, anstatt nur Fahrrad zu fahren, geärgert hatte... Ein paar Tage später ist meine Anmeldung zum Brighton and Hove Sprint Triathlon bestätigt, obwohl ich seit der Sekundarschule nicht mehr geschwommen bin (was auf dem technischen Niveau von Sport lag, um mich durch den einen oder anderen Sporttag zu bringen) und in den letzten 3–4 Jahren nicht mehr gelaufen bin, nachdem ich während der Pandemie zuletzt „5 für 5 km“ gemacht hatte.  

Als Kind habe ich ziemlich viel auf dem Fahrrad trainiert und bin mit 11 Jahren vom Wettkampfklettern zum Radfahren gewechselt, ganz zu schweigen von den Pflichtsportarten, die ich in meinem Internat 7 Jahre lang 6 Tage die Woche ausüben musste, darunter Lacrosse, Rugby, Cricket, Cross-Country und mehr. Nach einigen Jahren nahm ich auf der Bahn in Manchester an Rennen auf hohem Niveau teil und nahm häufig an Trainingseinheiten mit den Jungs und Trainern aus GB teil. Leider habe ich nach einem Verlust in der Familie meine Bemühungen vom Radfahren auf das Boxen verlagert, in dem ich 6-7 Jahre lang auf regionaler Ebene hier in Großbritannien und auf nationaler Ebene in Deutschland an Wettkämpfen teilnahm, während ich dort lebte. Die Pandemie führte mich jedoch zurück zu meinen Wurzeln auf zwei Rädern und jetzt … zum Triathlon!  

Der erste Schritt bei diesem neuen Unterfangen bestand darin, Menschen zu erreichen, die mehr wussten als ich, und alle Informationen zu nutzen, die ich bekommen konnte … Seitdem besteht mein TikTok-Feed nur noch aus Schwimmtechnikvideos und David Goggins, der mir sagt, ich solle laufen gehen und „die Baumstämme und die Boote tragen“.  

Ich habe mich zunächst an einige Marken gewandt, um etwas Unterstützung und auch einen Wissenspool zu erhalten, auf den ich zurückgreifen konnte. Und ZONE3 hat sich nicht nur bei mir gemeldet, sondern war auch unglaublich, weil sie mir nicht nur eine Partnerschaft mit dem Kit angeboten haben, sondern auch Leute, die ich fragen und von denen ich lernen konnte – was wirklich von unschätzbarem Wert war.  

Bisher bin ich etwa 20 Tage auf dieser Reise, also ¼ des Weges bis zum großen Tag, und ich genieße wirklich die Multidisziplinarität dieses Trainings, auch wenn es sehr zeitaufwändig ist! Ich habe immer nur eine Sportart gleichzeitig gemacht, sei es Bahnradfahren als Junior, Boxen in meinen 20ern und dann wieder Straßenradfahren als Wettkampfsport mit 25. Der härteste Teil war bisher 100 % das Schwimmen, da es so stark auf Technik basiert, aber ich stelle sicher, dass ich mein Bestes gebe, wenn es darum geht, zu lernen und Feedback anzunehmen. Ich freue mich wirklich darauf, bald wieder zu berichten und über die Fortschritte auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.  

750 m: 20 Minuten  

20 km Fahrrad: Durchschnitt 47 km/h bei 335 W  

5-km-Lauf: 23 Min. …  

Bleiben Sie dran für den nächsten Teil meiner Reise zu meinem ersten Triathlon.

What. A. Day. 💥 Last Thursday Zone3’s Lake Roadshow Hero event popped up at Swim Six Hills. The day had it all: sunshine, swim tips, wetsuit testing, free swims, refreshing drinks and seriously good vibes. Massive shoutout to Pro Triathlete & @nebulatri.team Coach @rebecca.anderbury who came down to share her swim wisdom. She had a great crowd gathered lakeside, and for good reason, her knowledge and tips were gold. Everyone had the chance to try on a range of Zone3 wetsuits in different styles and sizes, then jump straight in for a free swim at the beautiful open water swim venue. No pressure, just pure open water joy. What really made it special? The mix of people. Triathletes chasing race goals testing upgrades in suits. First-timers just dipping a toe in. Casual open water swimmers wanting a suit to see them through the winter. All in it together. Missed out on trying a wetsuit? Swim Six Hills has the full size curve of ZONE3 Advance wetsuits all season long, or check out where we’ll be at the next stop of the roadshow.

There’s a lot of kit to think about for a triathlon. ✅ The perfect fitting wetsuit ✅ Doubling up on swim caps for warmth and to hold goggles in place ✅ Goggles suitable for the light conditions (& that won’t fog up!) ✅ Anti chafe balm - does what it says on the tin ✅ Sunglasses to protect your eyes on the bike and run ✅ Stretchy laces to save time in transition. These are just a *few* of the things you need to pack for race day. But don’t panic. We’ve got the FULL kit list, so you can tick it off item by item. Comment ‘packing list’ and we’ll DM it to you 👊

Zips go on the back, people! For newbies putting on their first ever triathlon or swim specific wetsuit, we get it, it can be confusing to know which way around the suit should go. Surf wetsuits can have zips on the front or back, swimrun wetsuits are often on the front, and shorties vary too. But FYI all triathlon wetsuits zip up at the back. We’ve been popping up at lots of different events and lakes around the UK the last few months, helping people into wetsuits who haven’t worn one before. And we have seen a lot of people trying to put them on backwards. So if you are a newbie or know a newbie, this is for you 👊 📍 The Quays, Mytchett @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching

We’ve seen so many people at events over the last few weeks wearing their swim goggles on their head waaaay before they’re due to swim. Only put your goggles on as you walk down to the water and are about to get in, this stops the heat from your head causing them to fog up! We also recommend splashing your face and dunking your goggles in the water before you start swimming - to eliminate the temperature difference on each side of the lens. And DON’T TOUCH the inside of the lens with your fingers, you’ll wear off the anti-fog coating. 📍 The Quays, @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching, Mytchett Lake #tipsfornewbies #triathlon #openwaterswim

This weekend, the Zone3 team also volunteered at the incredible 24-Hour Swim Relay at Shepperton @levelwateruk 🏊‍♀️ We're proud to support Level Water, a charity that gives children with disabilities the opportunity to learn to swim, offering 1-to-1 lessons that empower kids with confidence, movement, and freedom in the water. The 24 hour event brought swimmers together for a non-stop relay challenge, raising vital funds to provide these lessons across the UK. To everyone swimming, supporting, and staying awake through the night: thank you for making a difference. This is what sport is all about.

Blenheim Palace Triathlon 2025 brought together athletes, ambition, and the unmistakable energy of race season. 💥 As the Official Swim Sponsor, Zone3 was proud to support the event which included the British and English Sprint Distance Championships and GB Age-Group Team Qualifier. With athletes of every level pushing their limits and our ambassadors leading from the front, it was a weekend to remember. The rain came down, but the spirit? Unshakeable. The determination? Unstoppable. The atmosphere? Electric ⚡ From first-time triathletes to GB hopefuls, every stroke, step, and smile was a reminder of why we do this. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat! And huge kudos to everyone who raced! @blenheimpalacetriathlon

Planning a staycation with open-water swims on the agenda? Don’t hit the road without these 5 holiday essentials that blend performance, comfort, and innovation, whether you're taking the plunge or soaking in the scenery. 🧭 1. Zone3 Waterproof Phone Pouch Stay safe + snap the moment. This buoyant, watertight pouch keeps your phone sealed from the elements while floating beside you for easy access:GPS, safety calls or that post-swim selfie, sorted. 🏖 2. Swim Safety Buoy Not just for visibility, our buoys offer a float to grab hold of when you need a breather in the water, plus are in-water storage for your dry kit and valuables. They're lightweight, eco-conscious, and swimmer-approved for peace of mind. 🕶 3. Waterhaul x Zone3 Sunglasses Sustainably made from ocean plastic and engineered for active wear, these polarised shades reduce glare off the water and keep you looking sharp on swim breaks. 🫖 4. Zone3 Ocean Bottle Hydration with a mission. This vacuum-insulated bottle keeps drinks cold (or hot) and supports ocean cleanup with every purchase. Perfect for post-dip teas or mid-hike refreshment. 🧥 5. Thermo-Tech Changing Robe From freezing lakes to rainy beaches, this super-insulated robe wraps you in warmth while you change. Windproof, water-resistant and cosy enough to live in between swims. 💬 Got a UK swim spot to recommend? Drop your favourite below and let the community know where you’re diving in next 👇

Are you ready for the Arla Great North Swim in June? @zone3official takes you through ‘sighting’ in open water, so you swim in the right direction and don’t zig zag your way around. Practicing sighting before the event will make sure you swim in a straight line and ensures you don’t swim further than you need to on the day. If you’re swimming in the pool, why not grab a bottle and use it as a marker at the end of your lane. Try to lift your eyes or head to look at it every few strokes. If you can practice in the open water, a landmark in the distance is a good marker to swim towards too! #openwaterswimming #zone3 #zone3official #greatnorthswim2025
