Hossein Mosapour Nigjeh has dedicated many years of his life as a professional triathlete and has participated in many competitions. Among these competitions, we can mention the second place of Iranians in the triathlon 2022, the first place of Iranians in the Dubai marathon race in 2020, the second place of Iranians in the Cappadocia race (63 km) 2020, etc.
Mr. Mosapour said in an interview, “The best way to understand triathlon is to volunteer in a race. Watching races can also be useful, but volunteering in a race can be more impactful. Even if possible, try to be there early.” Become familiar with the atmosphere of the competition and note down important points for yourself.
Participating in shorter competitions at the beginning of your career will help you to learn how to manage your energy in three disciplines and also to know your strengths and weaknesses more. After a while you can participate in longer races.
Professional athletes in triathlon believe that a special training plan should be followed from this sport. Since people like to improve early, they often change their plan and sometimes practice more than necessary. This is harmful for athletes. Exercise should challenge the body, but at the same time rest should be considered. If there is no time for recovery, the athlete will suffer an irreparable injury.”
