A triathlon is a special type of sport competition. The athletes don’t compete in one
sport – they must compete in three different sports! A triathlete (triathlon + athlete =
triathlete) competes in swimming, cycling and running. To win, the triathlete must be
very good at these three sports.
Vanessa Fernandes is a Portuguese triathlete. She’s got medals from many world
championships and a medal from the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This is how Vanessa
prepares for competitions:
Every morning, Vanessa gets up at 5.15 and swims for two hours. At 8.30, she has
breakfast. After breakfast, she’s got some quiet time, but at 10.30, she goes cycling
for two to three hours. At 1.00 or 1.30, Vanessa has lunch. She usually has salad
and fish. After lunch, Vanessa can sleep. Then, at 5.00, she goes running. She
usually runs 10 to 12 kilometres. At 6.30, she goes to the gym. At 8.00, Vanessa has
dinner, and at 10.00, she goes to bed.
Vanessa hasn’t got much time for a personal life. She must be serious and hard-
working because she wants to win every competition.
