About Total Triathlon

Total Triathlon is a practical guide for athletes who want to understand the sport, prepare for race day, and make better decisions about training, gear, and nutrition.

The site started in 2007 as a way to collect clear, approachable information about triathlon in one place. The sport can feel like it has its own language, its own equipment list, and its own set of rituals. Total Triathlon exists to make those details easier to sort through.

About Brock

My name is Brock Bigard. I have spent years around endurance sports as a runner, triathlete, web developer, and fan of the strange satisfaction that comes from putting three hard things together in a single race.

I am not here to make triathlon feel more complicated than it needs to be. The best resources are the ones that help you take the next useful step, whether that means choosing a first race, figuring out what to pack, understanding a training term, or deciding which piece of gear is actually worth buying.

The blog adds a more personal side of the sport: race stories, gear notes, training observations, and lessons learned along the way.
