History of Triathlons

It was directed and conceived by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan and sponsored by the San Diego Track Club. What follows on this website is the story of the sport as told by one of its founders, who started running in 1971. This comprehensive history of the triathlon includes pictures and original race times, compiled by a man who was inducted into Triathlete Magazine's Triathlon Hall of Fame.

Triathlon Transition Tips: Running, Cycling, Swimming
Because you have three sports happening during a triathlon, it's as important to prepare from the transition to and from one sport into the next, as it is to train specifically for each sport. Preparing for both the swim-to-bike and bike-to run transitions, will increase your confidence on race day and give you advantage over other competitors. Some skills can be practiced in advance, while others are unique to a specific venue.
