CTC's Nagala Half Ironman, Nov 4th

[Wikipedia] A triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events.[1] While many variations of the sport exist, triathlon, in its most popular form, involves swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed "transitions" between the individual swim, bike, and run components.[1] The word "triathlon" is of Greek origin from τρεις or trei (three) and αθλος or athlos (contest).[2]
Triathlon races vary in distance. According to the International Triathlon Union, and USA Triathlon, the main international race distances are Sprint Distance, which has a 750 metres (0.47 mi) swim, 20 kilometres (12 mi) cycling, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) run; Intermediate (or Standard) distance, commonly referred to as "Olympic distance" (1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) swim, 40 kilometres (25 mi) bike, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) run; the Long Course (1.2 miles (1.9 km) swim, 56 miles (90 km) ride, 13.1 miles (21.1 km) run, such as the Half Ironman), and Ultra Distance (2.4 miles (3.9 km) swim, 112 miles (180 km) ride, and a full marathon: 26.2 miles (42.2 km) run); the most recognized branded Ultra Distance is the Ironman triathlon.[3][4] [CTC] Welcome to CTC's first half Ironman - a multi-discipline competition near our home base Nagalapuram consisting of: 1.9km swim in a lake near the base of the Nagala mountains 90km cycling around the entire Nagala range 20.1km run on dirt tracks in a vast shady forest along the base
