title: Triathlon injuries. The swim-bike-run how-to for medical practitioners.
abstract: The triathlon is becoming one of the favourite pastimes of many of our patients. It carries with it a likelihood of overuse injuries. For most of these conditions, treatment will follow the usual regimens, but a good understanding of the mechanics and training principles will give any practitioner more options in the management of these patients.
