Feeling the chill yet keen to keep some distance in your open-water swimming? Then a thermal wetsuit, constructed with an extra warm lining, could be just the thing...

BLUESEVENTY THERMAL REACTION '22

£519 This is the third annual outing for Blueseventy's thermal Zirconium technology on these pages. And when the temperatures drop, we believe it's still the best there is for keeping toasty warm. The orange, fuzzy, wool-like lining extends down arms and legs, keeping your limbs as well as the core warmer, which we know is important. Updated for 2022, the seamless shoulders paired with 1.5mm under the arms have improved flexibility and we didn't experience any fatigue on longer swims. The centre and sides of the suit have also been redesigned to improve body rotation. We didn't see any water trickles as we swam thanks to the high, well-fitting neckline, and although it takes a little longer to pull on and off than others on test it's worth it for the warmth! There are nine size options available. blueseventy.co.uk

95% VERDICT The gold standard for thermal swim wetsuits. Warm, flexible, and a joy to swim in

How to Carb Load - Packing your working cells with carbohydrates in the build-up to your big race is a proven strategy to race stronger and faster...

Whichever distance triathlon you're racing, the intensity and duration of your activity will see your body tap into its stores of carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) to power your effort. While it's possible to top up your tank on the go, it's better to start your event with your stores full to the brim.

The Olympic Champion - On 31 July, Great Britain's Alex Yee put together arguably the greatest one-day performance we have ever seen at an Olympic Games to win gold. And we were there at the finish line to speak to tri's new poster boy...

The opening line of the race report read how 20 years on from New Zealand’s first and only Olympic triathlon gold medal, Hayden Wilde had put in a careerbest performance to regain the title for his nation. Then Alex Yee comes around the corner.Yee’s charge, seemingly from nowhere on the final lap of the 10km run in Paris, didn’t just help him become the most decorated Olympic male triathlete of all time, and didn’t just cap a rivalry that has been building for six years, it left seasoned watchers of swim, bike, run in awe. It will go down as one of the greatest triathlon races; Yee, still just 26, as one of the greatest triathletes. His medals from Paris added to the two from Tokyo, leaving his haul at two gold, a silver and a bronze, and counting.
