(Website last updated - 1 Feb 2012)
From the
Urban Dictionary:
"Triathlon - One of the best
and most addicting forms of competition consisting of swimming,
cycling, and running all at varying degrees of distances. Triathlon
is not for the weak, for it puts the athlete in an
undescribable amount of pain, but when the
race is over, you want to do it again. Anyone who downplays the
difficulty of a triathlon or the classification of it as a sport
should be beaten." |
