Why triathlon?

There are probably many questions marks in your heads if you are not yet into triathlon - why triathlon? Why be bad in 3 sports if you can be bad in one, right?

Let me try and share what's so good in #swimbikerun with you, as I think I never shared it in written form. Let's go!

1. My health and immune system considerably improved . I could stop writing after this one as this should be enough but there are a few other great reasons why.


2. Metabolism came to a norm (was definitely not the case before)


3. I gained muscle endurance, more muscle and became stronger overall.


4. Stamina helps me to sustain energy for longer during days (and nights)


5. Triathlon practice helped me quit smoking. That was a big victory!


6. I met thousands of super inspirational people and learned hundreds of exciting stories of life transformations while reaching their goals. Simply epic!


7. Alternation of 3 different sports reduce risk of being injured if you do it in the right way. Funny fact - triathletes exercise in three positions – horizontal, vertical and sitting.


8. It trains mindset to set goals, work hard towards reaching them and throws plenty of lessons on the journey


9. Triathlon inspires human being - many great things lie outside of comfort zone.


10. It works great as a stress reliever and a life balancer.


11. It produces plenty of fun and fantastic energy

These are #triathlon Pro's I took from top of my mind. There are many more, believe me.. Maybe my trimates can add some more great things #tri brought to their life?

Comment if you'd like me to be a bit more specific and detailed on any of those or maybe you have questions to ask.

Otherwise, see you tri-ing sooner or later.
