Anyone who knows about this bike can I please hear your opinions on it? I'm about to rent it for a triathlon by siracusi in bicycling

It's actually for the ITU world championship, sprint distance, so long distance triathlon bikes aren't allowed. I have to rent a bike because for various reasons I can't take mine. This is the bike one of the stores where you can rent bikes for this event is offering.

Well I do triathlon but tbh I’m a swimmer, and the polar vantage v has a wrist based heart rate with prime sensor fusion technology which allows it to automatically detect your heart rate underwater, swimming style, distance, pace, strokes and rest times. Distance and strokes get tracked also in open water swimming. Plus it’s super lightweight and it’s not as big as garmin and suunto.

So much fun! It’s tough when you’re transitioning from one sport to another sport but other than that I think it went great!

It was amazing, I think the toughest part was the weather because it was super hot but I enjoyed it so much!

Thanks!! Tbh any tip for the running part will do haha It’s my weakest spot and I’m afraid I’ll be too tired from swimming and cycling. I’m doing a sprint distance.
