triathlon

[trahy-ath-luh n]

 

noun

1. an athletic contest comprising three consecutive events, usually swimming, bicycling, and distance running.

2. a good workout for indecisive athletes.

3. BRC. a competition comprising four legs instead of three because our amps go to 11.

 

Origin of triathlon

From tri- "three" + Greek athlon "contest;" formed on model of decathlon, etc. Originally conceived by Pheidippides’ cousin Agadagadagada who realized, “well, there’s the problem, running that far will kill you.” He decided to add swimming to the mix and commissioned the invention of the bike. That took a while. True story. Google says so.

 

Good luck to everyone biking, swimming, biking (again), and running tomorrow.
