Triathlon

Triathlon is a relatively new sport where athletes compete in three events in succession. These are: long distance swimming, cycling and running, usually in that order for safety reasons. The sport has become quite popular with men and women of all ages as a great way to stay in shape and enjoy competition at the same time. It has been an Olympic event since 2000, but the sport itself has been around for about 30 years. An athlete's transition time between the sports is included in their overall time, so it's essential you are well prepared for each leg of the race. Another form of triathlon is a track-and-field event for women, which consists of the 100-m dash, the high jump, and the shot put. Other variations are also enjoyed, which incorporate other sports. It's a relatively inexpensive sport as the only equipment needed is a bike, clothing, shoes and swimming apparel.
