Triathlon training makes me healthy!

So, I had the lovely opportunity to do my annual physical this morning. Despite all the not-so-pleasant things these involve for women, it was actually a good experience. I've lost weight, lowered my blood pressure and have a 'shockingly' low pulse.

Now, outside of the endurance world, my pulse may be low, but inside, it's nothing even remotely shocking. Check out this Canadian article ranking the healthiest sports, and note that triathlon and its three components all rank highly in terms of calories burned, injury risk, cardiovascular benefits, muscle strength, and accessibility.

It is nice to see that my hard work (however inconsistent it may be--I'm working on it) is paying off in terms of my health.

Play on ladies, and reap the benefits!
