Triathlon Trends – Compression Sleeves

Triathlon Trends – Compression Sleeves

I have a very distinct memory of the Rubicon Triathlon in 2015. My abiding memory is not the excitement of the river swim, nor is it the fantastic support from the Wakefield Tri Club feed station. It’s not even the soupy paddling pool at the finish line. No, my overriding memory of that race is that I seemed to be the only person doing the event that wasn’t wearing compression sleeves on my calves.
