Because triathlons as competitive as they are today, it is no secret that there is a surge of amateur athletes who are leveraging the GPS watch technology of the professional triathletes to make their training and racing more enjoyable and satisfying.
As an very amateur triathlete, I am very excited about the potential of using a GPS watch to help me get through the endless running, swimming and cycling training sessions as well as improving my racing experiences.
My GPS Watch is My Personal Triathlon Coach
Many amateur and pro triathletes keep a written log of their training and racing events to track their progress and plan for the next efforts. I have always found this a tedious process and would rather just be out there training.
Instead of spending all of that time writing, a GPS watch can be used to log your distance, heart rate information, and other valuable training data - automatically! Let’s see what a GPS watch can do to help you understand your training and racing metrics.
See Your Results in Real Time with a GPS Watch
As you know, anyone who has ever trained for and competed in a triathlon knows the challenging and lengthy amount of preparation, coordination and dedication that goes on for months. If you do not get the chance to see the fruits of your labor frequently, you could slowly lose motivation.
Additionally, training for a triathlon of any distance is such a significant undertaking, we definitely need to see the results of our hard work. The BPS watch can paint that clear picture of your progress with little effort on your behalf.
There is a Reason that Elite Triathletes Use GPS Watches
Professional triathletes have taken a lesson from the adventure racers and recognized the value of having an electronic training parter helping them acheive their desired success. 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. GPS watches give them a clear view into how they are performing in racing and training at any moment.
For Under $100, You Can Have a GPS Watch
Whether you are a slow poke elephant in the back of the pack or a fast-footed gazelle in the front, you could certainly benefit from using a GPS watch to enhance both your triathlon training and racing efforts.
With an entry level price of less than $100, a GPS watch should be a no brainer (consider what your fancy triathlon bike costs…). I am confident that you will find that a GPS watch will add a whole new dimension to your triathlon training and racing. Go for it!
