New DSO Sport !
A triathlon is a multisport endurance event consisting of swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. The Senior Olympics event will be 'Sprint Triathlon' which is usually a 1/4 to 1/3 mile swim, 16 mile bike ride, and 3.2 mile run. Time for the event includes the transitions from swim to bike and bike to run. Although most people new to triathlons are familiar with each leg of the event, it is proficiency in the transitions that is also an important factor in the competition and requires practice and attention to detail.
