With triathlons as competitive as they are today, it is not surprising that there is a surge of amateur atheletes who are utliizing the GPS technology of the pros to make our athletic pursuits more enjoyable and survivable.
As an very amateur triathlete, I am very jazzed about the potential of using a GPS watch to help me get through the long training sessions as well as the grueling races.
A GPS Watch Keeps Your Training Log
Anyone who has ever trained for and competed in a triathlon knows the immense amount of preparation, coordination and dedication that is required. Additionally, training for a multi-sport event is such a significant undertaking, we want to see the results of our hard work.
Most triathletes keep a written log of their long journey in training to racing to see their progress and plan ahead. Instead of spending all of that time writing, why not let your handy GPS watch log your endless hours of training, distance, heart rate data, and other training data?
Elite Multisport Athletes Leverage GPS Watches
Elite and professional athletes have recognized the value of having an electronic training parter helping them acheive greatness at every moment. Not surprising, since elite athletes are usually looking for anything that will give them the edge at any cost.
Elite athletes are usually training and racing at the boundaries of human performance, and thus make great candidates for applying leading and the technology eventually gets down the the rest of us.
You Can Benefit From a GPS Watch for Less than $100
There is no doubt that whether you are a plodding elephant in the back of the pack or a swift marvel of nature in the front, you can benefit from using a GPS watch to enhance both your training and racing in multi-sport events.
With an entry level price of less than $100, this should be a no brainer (consider what your carbon triathlon bike costs…). I think you will find that a GPS watch will add a whole new dimension to your triathlon pursuits. Good luck out there!
