Triathlon season is finally here. Club triathletes are gearing up and getting ready for the local triathlons. Is Triathlon for you? The sport of triathlon is definitely something you may want to try. During the hotter months of the season, running races tend to get shorter (who wants to go our for a wimpy 5K?) and few races can be found. If you are in for a challenge, and looking for a fitness event during the hotter months of the summer and fall, triathlon is for you. Your weekly running mileage totals comes down due to biking and swimming being incorporated into your training schedule. You save your knees and give your marathon legs a break for the summer. You develop new muscles that will help you in the long run on a marathon. You stay cool by swimming and biking. And you also get to check out all the guys or girls in their speedos, triathlon shorts, or swim suits. What more than that can you ask for on the sport of triathlon. What are you waiting for? Give it a tri! Questions? email me agapitog@earthlink.net
 

To be included in the rankings, a triathlete must be a USA Triathlon (USAT) member and must have completed at least three USAT sanctioned races within the South Mid-West Region. The South Mid-West region includes Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

Congratulations!
