Swimming, biking and running are activities that most children, even those with disabilities, are able to participate in, making inclusion another valuable attribute of this versatile and wonderful sport. How often do children sign up for a sport with unbridled enthusiasm anticipating the fun to participate, only to be relegated to the bench. Although there are lessons to be learned in just being a part of the team, let's face it, this isn't great fun. In triathlon everyone participates. Everyone has the same opportunity to cross the finish line and feel that great sense of accomplishment. One of the most compelling reasons to consider triathlon as a competitive sport for children is that no one is excluded from the competition.

Identify a method to record your workouts. If you are using an electronic device, it probably records some biometric data such as heart rate, breathing rate, power output or cadence. This allows you to objectively evaluate your fitness progress. Be sure to upload your data and try to educate yourself on the device you are using and its capabilities. However, if you do not currently have access to electronic measuring devices, then record your resting HR at least once weekly on the same day and time. (See my blog post from January 6, 2016, if you are unsure how to do this). Additionally, record the date, distance and time needed to complete each workout. If you are so inclined, note your perceived effort (PE) for the workout, weather conditions and how you felt about the session. This data is very useful for objectively tracking your progress over time. And an important note on data: if you don't get it in real time, there's no deciding later to obtain it. So trust me on this one and start tracking your workout results now!
