What Is A Triathlon?

Triathlon is a word in Greek that refers to an athletic event that is made up of three contests. In the contemporary usage of the term, it is commonly used for the trio or the combination of cycling, swimming and running. In most of the modern triathlons, all these three vents are being placed back to back.

There is an official triathlon series that is organized as a world cup series every year. It is organized as a part of the Olympic Distances Races organized and also sanctioned each year by the International Triathlon Union. It usually includes thirteen events.
