Alright triathletes, we’ve decided to save you some trouble. Two-time Xterra world champion Lesley Paterson demonstrates what NOT to do at your first (or next) race in our latest video, “Don’t Be That Triathlete.”

Please, don’t be shy about passing this around to anyone considering the sport.

Can’t get enough of Lesley Paterson? Sign up for her Camp BraveDirt triathlon weekend, set for Jan. 11-13 for in-person laughs and off-road triathlon training in San Diego. Details at Facebook.com/Campbravedirt.
