It was then turned into a race in 1978, composed of 13 people. Three years later there were hundreds. The first Olympic Triathlon was held in Sydney Australia during the 2000 Olympic Games. The U.S. won the second Olympic Triathlon in '04.
Transitions: T1 = The transition from Swim to Bike. T2 = The transition from Bike to Run. Transition areas differ from triathlete to triathlete. Good transition areas are well organized for time efficient change from swim to bike or from bike to run. Some people put their helmet on the aerobars, and glasses on the handlebars. Shoes can be clipped into the bindings so you can slip them on during the bikeride, saving time. For more Transition Area ideas.
