Triathlon is an exciting, multi-discipline, endurance sport involving a continuous race (over various distances) in the three disciplines of swimming, cycling and running. It is a modern 'life style' sport, which you can start at almost any age.
A triathlon is made up of a swim, followed by a cycle ride, followed by a run. Competitors race against the clock, which starts as they enter the swim, and stops as they cross the finish line after the run. For this reason, triathlon is often reported as having a 'fourth discipline' known as the transition. The transitions are where competitors change from swimming to cycling, and from cycling to running. The transition areas (where these changes take place) are an important and unique part of triathlon, where time can be gained or lost.
Triathlon events give you the opportunity to race side by side with athletes of all abilities, with the benefit of seeing results, which show your placings against competitors of your own age and sex.
