Common Mistakes Done During Triathlons

By Leslie Ball


Sports is more than just entertainment. Yes, watching a good game is a real treat that we can enjoy having with our families. But on a deeper side, it is also an avenue where we get to hear beautiful stories of teamwork, patience, endurance, and all other values learned while mastering a sport.

There are different types of competitions done every year. Among them is the Maryland triathlons geared to attracting participants from different states to show their physical prowess in this strenuous series of cardio activity. Those who make it will have the chance to further their experience and may even find avenues for product endorsements.

Triathlons are events that require a lot of physical strength and endurance. As such, they need utmost preparation from the participants. Failure to do so may result to injuries and even disqualification from the competition. If you plan to participate, be sure to avoid doing any of the following.

Irregular training. Whether you are eyeing for the win or not, if you join a triathlon, you need to have regular training. There is no shortcut to building up your stamina. You need to work for it everyday. Otherwise, your body will get used to being relaxed and may not be able to withstand the pressure that you will experience on the actual event.

Buying the wrong gears. There are many available running, swimming and biking gears in the market. But not all of them are fit for what you need. Aside from the size and the design, you also need to consider the comfort and the durability of the material.

No concrete strategy of monitoring progress. Its good to improve the training plan. But the effort of the participant should not end there. He needs to think about how he can record the details of his daily training. Monitoring is very important to know your level of progress, and if you are indeed really improving.

Eating bad foods. Bad foods are those that destroy your diet. They do not contain the nutrients that our body needs to help strengthen the muscles and bones. Unfortunately, most of those considered bad are the same foods that we consider as tasty. Unless you want to have some problems during the game, better stick to the healthier choices.

Underestimating the nature of triathlon. You have heard this earlier, but let us try to think about it once again. Triathlon is no ordinary sport. Its a combination of three and lasts longer. Treating it like an ordinary one and thinking that you have someone whom you can rely on such as that of team sports will only put you in a disadvantage.

Awareness of the mistakes is the first step to creating a plan that will allow you to avoid it and do better. Review the list above when you start to train. Plan with someone if you have to.
