 Triathlon is a sport that you can do very easily. You do not have to be super fit like an Olympic Athlete; you can just be yourself and do it at your own pace. Most kids swim in a pool or at the beach, ride their bikes with family and friends or run around for their sport or play. Triathlon allows you to do all of these activities at the one time. You get to swim, bike and run all in one go!
