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.
