Gift Ideas For The Triathlete
Christmas is coming quickly (less than a month!) and it’s time to have a look at the gifts for relatives and friends.
If you need to buy a present for a multisport triathlete, these are some ideas.
If you think a bout cycling, a warm pair of winter cycling gloves or a cycling training DVD seems to be a good idea. You can also think of a gift subscription to a triathlon magazine. It’s great way to keep up with major races throughout the world, pick up training advice and read reviews of the latest gear.
Active people may often have pains and aches. Why don’t you buy a product from the Trigger Point Performance Therapy line or a copy of “Where it Hurts and Why”? It’s an informative manual to keep around the house.
If you prefer to buy a piece of clothing, a nice lightwear running or cycling jacket is always a good idea. You may also think of running shorts cycling jerseys. These clothes should be in bright colours for higher visibility while training in the early morning, later in the evening or in bad weather. If your triathlete doesn’t have a good pair of sunglasses, buy him/her the ones with interchangeable lenses that can be worn in sunny or overcast conditions.
Yet another option is a swimming costume. Modern models come with unique and contemporary designs. Don’t forget to find out confidentially about the size!
But if you think a piece of clothing is too personal, then you should go for an underwater mp3 player or a GPS tool. It will help precisely measure distance and pace, compare heart rates from various workouts, serve as a bike computer, and can all be uploaded onto your computer.
Remember, these are just ideas. They may help you to come up with some interesting and unforgettable presents for your family and friends. But you know them best and if you think the gift you’ve got in mind will give them more pleasure, just go for it!
