Triathlon
is an athletic
event made up of three contests (from the Greek). In
contemporary usage, the name triathlon is mostly
applied to a combination of swimming,
cycling
and running,
in that order.
In most modern triathlons, these
events are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence
and a competitor's official time includes the time
required to "transition"
between the individual legs of the race, including
any time necessary for changing clothes and shoes.
As a result,
proficiency in swimming, running, and cycling alone
is not sufficient to guarantee a triathlete a
competitive time:
trained triathletes have learned to race each stage
in a way that preserves their energy and endurance
for subsequent stages. |
