Becoming a triathlete is as simple as finishing your first triathlon. That is what some people consider an official triathlete. To become a rockstar triathlete you have to work a whole lot harder than the average bear. You have to get up at four in the morning to start your sprint triathlon training program whether you want to or not. It is easier said than done to put in that much time and effort to the sport of triathlon. It also takes a lot of will power because it is not an easy road for most people to walk on a daily basis.
