The Right Equipment Helps New Athlete Conquer His First Triathlon
After my husband had a heart attack, he started on a physical fitness quest to get back into shape. He was training for his first triathlon and I wanted to give him a gift to show my support for his endeavors and my pride at how he had turned his life around completely. I opted to purchase a bell javelin helmet to be used for the cycling portion of the triathlon. The Bell Javelin helmet was purported to be the most aerodynamic of all cycling helmets and has special ear flaps that made removing the helmet without tugging or causing pain a breeze. My husband finished in the middle of the pack that day, well behind the first place athletes who had competed, but for his first effort, it was a triumph. Many participants weren’t even able to finish, so to cross the finish line with a more than respectable time under his belt, had my husband pleased as punch and already training for his next triathlon.
