Why Should You “Try” an Indoor Triathlon?
Written by Jim Levesque, Head Coach at Grit Endurance. Learn more about Jim’s background here!
An indoor triathlon, like the two we are offering this January and March, are an amazing race opportunity for athletes of any level. Here are some reasons why you should “try” one out for yourself!
They are very beginner friendly, especially for newer swimmers, because the swim is in a pool, the bike is on a spin bike, and the run is on a treadmill, so it’s all very safe and controlled
They are cheaper and logistically simpler than a regular outdoor triathlon, and also don’t require to bring a bike to participate
They allow athletes of all levels to feed their competitive juices during the colder winter months in Chicago, when an outdoor triathlon would be impossilbe, unless we’re skiing instead of swimming!
They allow you to dip your toes into the sport without buying all of the equipment needed for an outdoor triathlon, like a wetsuit, bike, helmet, etc.!
And they are simply a whole lot of fun!
Interested? Sign up today for our events on January 18th and March 8th!
We also neeed volunteers for both events, so please reach out to Jim@grit-endurance.com if you would like to help!
