Triathlon was first coined by Scott Tinley which was first held in the race in France in the range of 1920s-1930s. Mileage section for Full Triathlon cycling 180 miles while the Olympics Triathlon 40 miles away. On the bike, an athlete should not do the preparation that is behind other racers or trailed much lighter because the rules of individual time trial which is calculated based on the travel time per individual.
Triahlon bike design has been optimized for aerodynamics, has a special handle bars so-called "aero bars" or "tri-bars", aerodynamic wheels, and other components that also pay attention to aerodynamics. Triathlon bike has a special geometry, high angle of the seat tube as the needs of aerodynamics and stretch the leg muscles to run in addition to the part when approaching the finish line, athletes raise pedaling cadence useful to keep muscles loose and flexible in order to remain so during the running section , already conditioned muscles do not need heating or special anymore.
Triathlon is a multi-sport event involving the completion of three Triathlon is a multi-sport event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest time just finished a whole, including the time "transition" between bike, swim individuals, and run components. The word "triathlon" is derived from the Greek of τρεις or trei (three) and αθλος or athlos (contest). Triathlon races vary in distance. According to the International Triathlon Union, and USA Triathlon, the main international race distances Sprint distance (750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run), Intermediate (or Standard) distance, commonly referred to as "Olympic distance" (1.5 km swim , riding 40 km, 10 km run), Course length (1.9 km swim, 90 km ride, 21.1 km run, such as Half Ironman), and Ultra Distance (3.8 km swim, 180 km ride, and a marathon : 42.2 km run); The distance of the most recognized branded Ultra is Ironman. Transition region positioned between the swim and bike segments (T1), and between the bike and run segments (T2) and which switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur. This area is used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and other accessories necessary to prepare for the next stage of the race.
The time spent in T1 and T2 is included in the overall race time. Transition areas can vary in size depending on the number of participants expected for the race.
In addition, these areas provide a social headquarters prior to the race. The nature of the sport focuses primarily on persistent and often periodized training in each of the three disciplines, as well as combination workouts and general strength conditioning.
HISTORY Triathlon.
Triathlon is considered by some people to have its beginnings in 1920 the French. According to historian and author Scott Tinley triathlon (and others), the origin is attributed to race triathlons during the year 1920-1930an called various "Les trois sports", "La Course des Débrouillards", and "La course des Touche Tout à" . This competition is held every year in France near Joinville-le-Pont, in Meulan and Poissy.A previous tri-sport event in 1902 featuring walking, cycling, and canoeing. There are documented tri-sport event featuring running, swimming, cycling and (not necessarily in that order) in 1920, 1921, 1945, and 1960. In 1920, the newspaper L'Auto France reported on a competition called "Les Trois Sports" to run 3 km, 12 km bike, and swim in the Marne channel. The third part of it is done without any break. Another event was held in 1921 in Marseilles with the sequence of events bike-run-swim. Among the participants are American athletes Sector Charles. There are also articles in French newspapers about a race in Marseille in 1927. There was an article in 1934 about "Les Trois Sports" (three sports) in the city of La Rochelle, a race with: (1) the channel crossing (c. 200 m), (2 ) bike competition (10 miles) around the port of La Rochelle and the parc Laleu, and (3) run (1200m) in the stadium André-Barbeau.
Modern Triathlon.
The first modern swim / bike / run event to be called 'triathlon' held at Mission Bay, San Diego, California on September 25, 1974. The race was conceived and directed by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan, members Track Club, San Diego, and is sponsored by track club. 46 participants entered this event. When it was reported to be inspired by the events of the French, even though the race the following year at Fiesta Island, California, sometimes called 'the first triathlon in America. "The first modern long-distance triathlon event is the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. It includes a swim of 2.4 miles (3.9 km), cycling 112 miles (180 km), and run a marathon 26.219 miles (42.195 km). It was conceived in the award ceremony for the 1977 Oahu Perimeter Relay (race walking for 5-person teams).
Among the participants were representatives of both the Mid-Pacific Road Runners and the Waikiki Swim Club, whose members have long argued that the athlete is fit: runners or swimmers. On this occasion, US Navy Commander John Collins showed that a recent article in Sports Illustrated magazine had declared that Eddy Merckx, the great Belgian cyclist, should be the highest recorded "maximal oxygen uptake" of any athlete ever measured, so perhaps cyclists more suitable than anyone. Collins and his wife, Judy, have taken part in a triathlon staged in 1974 and 1975 by Track Club, San Diego in and around Mission Bay, California, as well as the Optimist Sports Fiesta Triathlon in San Diego, California, in 1975.
A number of other military athletes in attendance are also familiar with the race San Diego, so that they understand the concept when Collins suggested that the debate should be settled through a race combining the three existing long-distance competitions already on the island: the Waikiki Roughwater Swim 2.4 miles (3.9 km) , which is around Oahu-Race Bike (115 mi (185 km); originally a two-day event) and 42.195 kilometers (26.219 miles) Honolulu Marathon. There is no present one ever did a bike race so they did not realize it was two days instead of one day, the event. Collins calculated that, by shaving 3 miles (4.8 km) of track and riding counter-clockwise around the island, the bike leg could start at the end of Waikiki rough water and end at Aloha Tower, the traditional start of the Honolulu Marathon. Prior to racing, each athlete received three sheets of paper listing a few rules and a course description. Handwriting on the last page is this advice:
"Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112 miles, Run 26.2 miles, Brag for the rest of your life"
- Commander Collins, USN (1978)
With a nod to a local runner who is renowned for his demanding exercise, Collins said:
"Whoever finishes first, we'll call him the Ironman. "
- Commander Collins, USN (1978)
Of the fifteen people to start in the morning on February 18, 1978, twelve completed the race and the world's first Ironman, Gordon Haller, completed in 11 hours, 46 minutes, and 58 seconds.
Today, a number of triathlon events over varying distances are held all over the world. "Olympic distance" standard 1.5 / 40/10 km (.93 / 24.8 / 6.2 miles) created by long-time triathlon race director Jim Curl in the mid-1980s, after he and partner Carl Thomas compile the US Triathlon Series (USTS) between 1982 and 1997. The Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Championship Ironman function as. The entity that has a race, the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), to host another triathlon worldwide which also fall under the brand Ironman. Long-distance multi-sport event organized by another group of WTC may not be officially called "Ironman" or "Iron" races. Triathlon can be described as full distance triathlon or "half distance", but "Ironman" and "Iron" label is officially owned the WTC.
The International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in 1989 as an international governing body of the sport, with the main objective, at that time, put triathlon on the Olympic program for its part, the ITU does not sanction the WTC. However, using a combination of rules ITU USAT and WTC WTC sanctioned events branded it.
The sport made its debut on the Olympic program at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 for the Olympic Distance (swim: 1,500 m (1,600 yd) - Bicycle: 40 km (24.9 miles) - run: 10 km (6.2 mi)).
In 2006, Triathlon for the first time competed in the Asian Games in Doha-Qatar, in a race organized category is comprised of Olympic Pool 1.5 Km, 40 Km air-Bike and Run 10 Km. Original race distance is called the Olympic Distance. But the ITU Congress in 2009, it was decided to mention the Olympic Distance replaced with Standard Distance. The distance of the race for the Sprint Distance is 750 M Swimming, Cycling and Running 20 KM 5 KM.
