3.- Go Beyond: another app for triathletes great to check your progress and conquer your walls.
"Go Beyond brings you specific challenges for running, riding and swimming. New challenges are added every week as well as special events challenges like major races" but I didn't find it very engaging and it becomes repetitive after some time.
