teamathlete

A beginner triathlete enjoys joining triathlon groups but he/she doesn't understand that the sport is an individual sport unless done in a relay. Triathlon groups are meant for training guidance and are rich in informational sessions and provide value but by no means are they to swim in pairs, bike in pairs or groups or run as a group during a triathlon. When done in pairs or groups they no longer are triathletes and are teamathletes participating in triathlons. Unfortunately they get the same medal.
