A triathlon involves three sports: swimming, cycling, and running. These sports are done in succession as the participant races to complete as fast as possible. The winner is the first person to cross the finish line. It tests the heart and the lungs, as well as the mental toughness and ability in each sport.
There are various triathlon distances that range from brief sprints to demanding Ironman competitions. The most common distances are Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman (70.3), and Full Ironman (140.6). There are two transition stages in each race—T1 (swimming to cycling) and T2 (cycling to running)—that are factored into the total time. Equipment handling, food intake, and pacing are crucial. Triathlon is enjoyed worldwide since it’s simple to begin and there are challenges for the individual. It appeals to athletes of all levels, even novices to ones that have a worldwide following. World Triathlon and USA Triathlon are some of the organizations that determine the rules and rankings for the competitions.
