Five Star Gift Ideas

There are a few possibilities that could be great for a pentathlon enthusiast like your dad! Here are a few ideas:

1. A pentathlon training session: Check to see if there are any local pentathlon clubs or gyms in your area. You could purchase a training session or package of sessions for your dad to get a chance to train with professionals or learn new techniques from pentathlon-specific trainers.

2. A pentathlon book: There are several interesting and informative books about pentathlon that your dad might enjoy reading. Check out "Training and Racing for the Multisport Athlete: Duathlon, Aquathlon, Cross-Country, Time Trial Racing," by Dave Scott and Louis J. Vargas, or "Modern Pentathlon: A Centenary History, 1912-2012," by Margaret Roberts.

3. Pentathlon-inspired workout gear: If your dad enjoys working out, he might appreciate some pentathlon-inspired workout clothes or accessories. Look for items with the five events represented, such as a shirt with a picture of a horse, a fencing mask on a water bottle, or a swimming medal on a gym bag.

4. A personalized pentathlon cup or trophy: You could order a personalized cup, trophy or medal with your dad's name or initials engraved on it, along with a pentathlon symbol or logo. He could use it for motivation or as a prize if you create a friendly family pentathlon competition!

I hope one of these ideas inspires you!

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
