Triathlon is an exciting multi-discipline sport that involves
a continuous race over various distances in the three disciplines
of swimming, running, & cycling. To participate the basic
requirements are that you are able to swim, ride a bike, and
run.
An endurance event, the three distances of swimming, running,
& cycling are placed back to back in immediate sequence.
Competitors race against the clock which starts as they enter
the swim, & stops as soon as they cross the finish line
after the run. For this reason triathlon is often reported
as having a fourth disciplines known as the transition. The
transitions are where competitors change from swimming to
cycling & from cycling to running.
As triathletes have to train for three different disciplines,
triathlon encourages whole body muscular development, and
produces high levels of fitness. Triathlon events also provide
a rare opportunity to race side by side with athletes of all
abilities, with the benefit of seeing results which show you’re
placing against competitors of your own age and sex.
