Would I be a good Triathlete?

Whenever you are telling a person you do triathlon, people are mostly quite impressed. Becoming a real triathlete can happen really quickly. People discover triathlon differently. When you already run and cycle, only swimming is missing for you. Others are looking for the challenge to practice more than one sport. From whatever point you start, triathlon is a perfect mix of three complementary sports. It’s a challenge and it is always a lot of fun to do!

The history of Triathlon

Hawaii, 1978:

It all started with American soldiers, who could not agree on the one sport which is the most difficult one. To figure it out, they organized a competition in which all three disciplines had to be completed. The winners of this competition would call themselves the ‘Iron Man’.

Sydney, 2000: triathlon became an Olympic sport. The Olympic distance was created and covers 1.5km swimming, 40km cycling and 10km running.
