Why a triathlon?

Triathlon is a wonderful kind of sports suitable and open for everyone: you even do not have to be in a perfect physical state. The varied nature of triathlon allows you to try different activities every time. It attracts people from all scope of activities and fits different styles of life. Triathlon is an opportunity to challenge yourself and feel the satisfaction of reaching your goals.

Physical and mental advantages of triathlon are highly important for health. Rotation of swimming, biking, and running contributes to the balanced development of body rather than each of them separately.  

Endurance has a significant impact on strengthening the circulatory system and normalization blood pressure, weight and mental state.  Furthermore, triathlon is a contactless style of sports which combines 3 different disciplines; therefore, it means equal distribution of physical effort and a reduced risk of getting hurt.

However, the wrong system of training and undue hardship can adversely affect human health. Prior to start doing a triathlon, it is important to undergo a medical examination.
