A triathlon is often viewed as an impossible task for most people. The idea of such a long distance contest is daunting to many individuals in modern society and it takes a special type of person to succeed in this type of contest. Kim Errigo has succeeded and placed first in her age group in a triathlon. Kim Errigo is willing to share a few tips on how to prepare for the race: - Keep It Simple: As a beginner athlete in the sport, you don't want to have to deal with the logistics of transporting all your gear out to some remote location, finding a place to stay, and everything else that comes with traveling for a triathlon. Because the sport of triathlon is growing so quickly, there are races offered in most urban and suburban areas throughout the year. Kim Errigo suggests that you find one within driving distance of your house so you can turn it into a day trip instead of a weekend voyage. Make sure that someone comes with you, though. You will probably want them to drive back while you nap and recharge.
- Don't Break the Bank: Triathlons are relatively cheap if all you are paying is the entry fee to the race. However, many first time athletes feel like they need to buy up a full collection of gear for their big day. According to Kim Errigo, it is important to know that you really want to invest in the sport before you make major purchases. For a beginner triathlete, all that should be bought is a good pair of running shoes. Borrow someone's bike or use your own, just avoid going out and spending all of your money on a top of the line cycle. As you grow to love the sport, you can invest in better gear.
- Stay Loose on Race Day: Kim Errigo is no stranger to the pregame jitters. In Kim Errigo's career as a runner, she has experienced the elevated heart rate and adrenaline rush that accompanies race day. However, Kim Errigo knows that it is important to not get overhyped before your first race. Nerves are normal, but you should do what you can to stay loose and relaxed while waiting for the race to begin. Drink some water, talk to your friends, and stretch. Staying loose before it starts will help you stay in the zone once the race begins.
