- 5. Triathlon “THE GAME” *Items marked in red can be changed. What is Triathlon: Triathlon is made up of 3 disciplines consisting of swimming, cycling, running. In it's purest form events start with a swim, is then followed by a bicycle ride, and completed with a run, all over a stipulated distance, however there may be triathlons with the same disciplines completed in another order. All triathlons are done without a break between each discipline. There are a number of other events based on a combination of some of the same disciplines in triathlon, such Aquathlons (swim & run) and Duathlons (run, cycle, run). Participants in triathlon are called "Triathletes".

The first event was a 10km run, 8km cycle and 500metre swim. Soon after, triathlons were being held in many places in the world, however the first triathlon was not conducted in India until 1990. There were many different distances in triathlon being conducted, however the 2 most popular and enduring distances are "The Ironman Triathlon" consisting of a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle followed by a full marathon of 42km and also what is now known as "The Olympic Triathlon Distance" which consists of a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle followed by a 10km run.
