A triathlon is a multi-sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances.
Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed "transitions" between the individual swim, bike, and run components.
Triathlon races vary in distance. According to the International Triathlon Union, and USA Triathlon, the main international race distances are :
1. Sprint distance (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run)
2. Intermediate/Standard distance, commonly referred to as "Olympic distance" (1.5km swim, 40km ride, 10km run)
3) Long Course (1.9km swim, 90km ride, 21.1km run) such as the Half Ironman
4) Ultra Distance (3.8km swim, 180km ride, and a marathon: 42.2km run)
The most recognized branded Ultra Distance is the Ironman triathlon.
Transition areas are positioned both between the swim and bike segments (T1), and between the bike and run segments (T2) and are where the switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur.
These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories needed for preparing and for the next stage of the race. The time spent in T1 and T2 is included in the overall time of the race.
Transitions areas can vary in size depending on the number of participants expected for the race. In addition, these areas provide a social headquarters prior to the race.
The nature of the sport focuses primarily on persistent and often periodized training in each of the three disciplines, as well as combination workouts and general strength conditioning.
