The sport of Triathlon is in the midst of a growth spurt.  With more people becoming health conscious and looking for new ways to stay active, the inherent cross-training and sense of accomplishment that comes from finishing a triathlon of any distance, has brought more and more people to the sport. 

The International Triathlon Union is calling this the best winter triathlon season ever with a calendar packed full of events.   Sadly, Triathlon Australia had to cancel their Challenge Series saying the events just weren’t “fiscally viable”, however this loss is balanced by the addition of India’s first International Triathlon, set for February of 2010.  

When any endurance sport collides with a busy lifestyle,  there is a danger of over training, but as long as you know the warning signs, it can be fun a rewarding to train for Triathlon.  So strap on your Amphibx, plug in your Surge Waterproof Headphones and get out there this winter.
