Sports has gained global popularity all throghout the years. This is the reason why major competitions are done on different time of the year. Its one way of gathering all sports enthusiasts and letting them join different games in an attempt to bag the win. Aside from entertainment, it has become a major avenue to promote teamwork and good health especially among the young.

There are different types of competitions done every year. Among them is the Maryland triathlons geared to attracting participants from different states to show their physical prowess in this strenuous series of cardio activity. Those who make it will have the chance to further their experience and may even find avenues for product endorsements.

Triathlons are events that require a lot of physical strength and endurance. As such, they need utmost preparation from the participants. Failure to do so may result to injuries and even disqualification from the competition. If you plan to participate, be sure to avoid doing any of the following.

Not doing enough physical preparation. Unless your body is prepared to deal with the strain, you are better of postponing your plans of joining the competition entirely. More than that of doing basic exercises, one needs to increase the intensity of his training regimen to ensure that his stamina is built well. Those who stick to the regular ones end up not finishing the full race.

Buying of inapproriate gears. We are talking of three different types of activities here, running, swimming and biking. Having the necessary gears for these activities therefore will matter a lot. Unfortunately, there are beginners who fail to consider the appropriate gears that is fitted for the event and stick with the one that they have. This in result makes them feel uncomfortable.

Doing away with the monitoring. If you are not working with a trainer, the best way to know the progress that you are making is through creating a detailed record of your training regimen. This way, you can easily review the specific activities you did for this day and that and how long did you train.

Eating the wrong types of foods. Part of taking good care of your physical health is eating the right set of foods. No matter how good you perform on the physical exercises, you will still end up not feeling physically fit unless you eat healthy foods. This is exactly why some participants hire a dietitian is in charge of creating meal plans in preparation for the event.

Underestimating the nature of triathlon. You have heard this earlier, but let us try to think about it once again. Triathlon is no ordinary sport. Its a combination of three and lasts longer. Treating it like an ordinary one and thinking that you have someone whom you can rely on such as that of team sports will only put you in a disadvantage.

Awareness of the mistakes is the first step to creating a plan that will allow you to avoid it and do better. Review the list above when you start to train. Plan with someone if you have to.
