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." |
