Reasons to love swim, bike & run

20 reasons why we are sure you might like to Tri!

 

Let’s be honest, most people don’t start off loving something when they first try something new. But it’s normal, because it’s challenging, it’s out of your comfort zone, it’s a little stressful, it’s the unexpected (unless you’re a superhero of course)! But after you have tried it a few times, it’s then that you realise how it makes you feel, how happy you have become from this newfound hobby, sport, or whatever that ‘new’ thing is.

 

So what makes you try it in the first place? Peer pressure from friends or family; someone may have inspired you; you may need to do something for health reasons, or maybe you simply have the curiosity to try. And that’s where the magic begins…

When you discover things. When you discover people. When you feel more relaxed. When you feel that sense of achievement. When you have something new to talk about. When you feel a new spark. When you find that connection with people who share the same passion as you.

So now, let us share with you our top reasons why we have fallen in love with Triathlon…and hopefully we too can help extract that ‘curiosity petal’ from you to go out and just try it! Tri IT!

let's paint a picture First

Just imagine this for 1 minute. You come home from a day at work where you are already thinking about all the things you have to do tomorrow to meet that deadline. You don’t feel you have done enough today. To top it off, on your journey home, your anxiety and tension have been elevated from some dooche-bag drivers. You just want to collapse on the sofa and forget about everything. But you don’t. WHAT? Nope, instead, you put on your leggings, t-shirt and trainers and head off out the door.

Now it’s YOUR time. Time to feel that freedom. As you run through the fields by the river, hear the trees blowing in the wind and the water flowing, you give time to bring yourself back to remembering what’s important to YOU. This short breakaway puts priorities back into place and hence helps relieve a little tension.  

Why we love to Run

  • Wind, rain, sun or snow, it can be done, and at ANY time of day!
  • Discover new streets, new paths and new areas that you never even knew existed
  • You're outdoors, feel the freedom
  • It can release those happy endorphins, even going for an easy run
  • Run alone, or run with a friend and either chat away about your day or help push each other on those short sprints.
  • Release that stress, anxiety and worry
  • If you want a low-cost sport, it's probably right up there. All you need in a decent pair of shoes (put please don't disregard)
  • Everyone can do it - ok it's always good to know the basics of running properly to avoid injury, but it doesn't require a ton of skill to learn
  • Stick to the road, hills, trails, or even those fun car park stairs
  • Oh boy you will you feel a sense of achievement once you've finished - and if you've done a morning run you'll feel pumped and able to concentrate better for the rest of the day
  • Tell people, because you won't know it, but you'll be planting that seed of curiousity for them too - so you may even be helping a friend too.

Why we love to Bike

  • Go solo or enjoy the company of others
  • Climb high to beautiful views
  • Explore beautiful areas out in the open
  • Learn techniques and feel more confident day by day
  • Challenge our strength uphill and skill downhill

Why we love to Swim

  • There is a lot of skill involved - learning new drills and techniques is fun
  • It's a great feeling to use your upper body strength rather than your legs all the time!
  • Your muscles can relax and feel lighter after having done a run or bike
  • Swim in cool places - pools, lakes, rivers and the sea!
  • Have fun with different strokes, breathing challenges
  • It's a form of meditation - in swimming we are always focusing on our technique, so we forget about everything else.
  • Swimming always seems challenging and exhausting - more reason to sleep and eat right?
  • Swim on your own or in a group and go speeds your never imagined
  • You can most probably still swim when your injured - it's great for rehabilitation
