Abstract

The triathlon is most frequently a combination swim, cycle, and run event with varying distances dependent on how severe a test the race organizers wish to make the event. The Hawaii Ironman Triathlon - the most famous of the triathlons - features a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bicycle r i d e , and 26.2 mile run. Most triathlons being staged today incorporate distances proportional to the distances of the three events in the Hawaiian Ironman contest.
