“Run and Become” at the GutCheck Adventure Triathlon
By Pavithra Natarajan The weather conditions could not have been more perfect had I been able to request them. It’s a clear, sunny fall day, a comfortable 72 degrees.

New to triathlon? Watch our webinar!
Of all the participatory sports that people enjoy, triathlon is a tough one for a newbie. The learning curve is much more than becoming accustomed to training for three different disciplines; it’s learning how to put those disciplines together as one, to transition and pace properly, to handle nutrition and hydration needs. Are you venturing into the unique sport of triathlon this year?
