My favourite Olympic Sport

My favourite Olympic sport in definitely the triathlon. One, because my cousin races in them and two, because the sport has a variety of different muscles that you have to use. The first of part of the triathlon is the swim. The swim is an important part of the race as you need to have a good start in the race. All the transitions are really important in the race because if you come out first but can't but your shoes on, you might drop back and can't start up again.

Next is the bike which you need to make into the first group for otherwise you probably can't catch up. You need to go at a medium speed as you need to save your legs for the run.

Running is a key part of the triathlon as the run is to the finish line and you got to keep your speed up with a front group. If you can't get to the front group, you will have to work your hardest for the front group.

If you are good at a variety of sports, are good at saving energy and love trying you hardest, then I think triathlons are for you.
Start of a triathlon!

  1. Good to see your detailed post Hannah. It is pretty awesome that your cousin was in the Olympics triathlon. Are you interested in taking up the sport yourself?
