I can’t remember if this is a quote from some one or if I just made it up on my own, but in all my Triathlon training and racing, I’ve found this to be true. I might have come up with it when my wife asked, if racing ever gets easier after all the triathlon training I had done one summer. My answer to her inspired this design.
The more I thought about the more I realized that it was true. Whether swimming, biking, or running, you never really get a break. The more training you do the better triathlete you become. Your new level of fitness only serves to give you greater speed at the same effort, but you’d never slow down in a triathlon, just because you were matching your latest performance and wanted to take it easy!
It’s true that the more experience you have racing triathlons makes you a better triathlete with more confidence, and so the nerves, race-day morning bathroom visits, packing the transition bag, setting up transition, pulling off your wetsuit, etc. all get a little bit easier each time. But, the effort that you put out in a triathlon, should always hurt the same, or more if you can handle it. The better shape you get yourself into, only makes you faster, it never makes it easier.
The Triathlon Never Gets Easier Design is available in a variety of products includin T-shirts, mugs, posters, and more. Check out all my triathlon related designs at the Triathlete T shirts Triathlon Store.
