The Joy of Triathlons

DON’T SKIP THIS ARTICLE! No, this is not about Ironman, those uber athletes and their uber achievements, or even our upcoming 70.3 half-Ironman race. Instead, like Seinfeld’s “festivus for the rest of us,” I'm focusing on triathlons that are more realistic for most of us — sprint and Olympic distance triathlons.
Sprint triathlons are super fun and great for those trying a tri for the first time, because they are short with just a half-mile of swimming, 12 miles biking and a 3-mile run. Olympic distance triathlons are twice the distance (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run).
