🏊🚴🏃 **Triathlon Fun Fact!**
Did you know? Before you even touch your bike in a triathlon, your helmet must be on and securely buckled. Once you're ready, you still can't ride through the transition area—you must walk or run your bike until you reach the designated **mount line** before hopping on.
It's all part of keeping athletes safe while ensuring a fair race for everyone. Safety first, then speed! 💪🏅
