Triathlon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A 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.

Brief Triathlon History
  • Triathlon was invented in the early 1970s by the San Diego Track club, as an alternative workout to the rigors of track training. The club’s first event consisted of a 10km run, an 8km cycle and a 500metre swim. In 1989, the International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in Avignon, France and the first official world championships were held. The official distance for triathlon was set at a 1.5 km swim, a 40km cycle and a 10km run ­ taking from existing events in each discipline already on the Olympic programme. This standard distance, now called ‘Olympic Distance’ is used for the ITU World Cup series and the Olympic Games. In 1994, at the IOC Congress in Paris, France, triathlon was awarded full medal status on the Olympic programme and made it’s debut at the 2000 summer games in Sydney, Australia. The women’s event took place on the first day with the men competing on day two. ITU now has over a hundred affiliated national federations around the world.

What exactly makes thousands of people take part in the triathlon events, where you have to swim 1500 metres, then immediately cycle 40 kilometres and right afterwards run 10 km – and all of that without a break?
Description
All triathlons consist of Swimming, Cycling, and Running one after the other, but there are three different types:  
 The Olympic distance triathlon, which is one of the 28 Olympic sports, consists of: 1500m swimming, 40km cycling and 10km running.
 The sprint: 750m swimming, 20km cycling and 5km running
 Long distance: 4 km swimming, 120 km cycling and 30 km running 
The Olympic distance triathlon has prevailed and is included in the Olympic competition schedule. The distances of each discipline at the classic (Olympic) distance correspond to the longest distances adopted by the respective International Federations (FINA, UCI, IAAF), regarding the disciplines carried out in a stadium. Triathlon demands endurance, technique and tactics. ATHENS 2004 Triathlon
See the Olympic sports animations  The sport of Triathlon in the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games was staged in the wider area of the Municipality of Vouliagmeni in southern Athens. The swimming took place at one of the most famous beaches, Oceanida. The water quality is excellent and the beach has all the necessary facilities. The start took place from a floating pontoon.

History of the Triathlon
by Kelly Ehritz. A triathlon consists of three sports swimming, biking, and running. There are several race distances:
Sprint Olympic Half-Ironman Ironman Swim .5 mile .93 mile 1.2 miles 2.4 miles Bike 13 miles 24.8 miles 56 miles 112 miles Run 3.2 miles 6.2 miles 13.1 miles 26.2 miles
Race distances often vary somewhat from the table above, but most races fit pretty closely with the above distances.
The race starts at the shot of a gun as athletes begin their swim. Races can start off a dock with the athletes diving in. They can start with the participants already in the water behind the "start line." Races can also start on the beach with triathletes running in to the lake, ocean, etc. The swim is usually very crowded with alot of pushing and kicking to get ahead.
At the end of the swim, the athletes exit the water and start on the first transition, T1. They run to the bike racks, put on sneakers, and hope on their bike. Biking is the best time in the race to refuel on sports drinks and energy bars/gels.

Sheila Taormina
Few are fortunate enough to represent their country in the Olympic Games, fewer still make a return trip and only a handful participate as an athlete in two different sports. Count Georgia graduate Sheila Taormina, the swimmer turned triathlete, among the chosen. On July 25, 1996, after turning in the fastest prelim split on the American swimming squad, Taormina became the first Masters swimmer ever to win Olympic gold. On that day, at the age of 26, she teamed with fellow Americans Trina Jackson, Cristina Teuscher and Jenny Thompson for a gold medal-winning performance in the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Now in the second chapter of her story, Taormina travels to Sydney, Australia, at the end of August, representing the United States in the triathlon. Taormina earned her position on this year's Olympic squad after winning the women's Olympic triathlon trials in Irving, Texas, on Saturday, May 27. Triathlon, which consists of swimming, cycling and running, will make its first appearance as a medal sport at the Olympic Games in Sydney. The women's competition will be held on September 16.
