distances in a triathlon Triathlon "standards"

Lastly, running and triathlons are not really the same thing... if you want to get into the POLITICS of it. In running, you have a nice world where everyone (runners and organizers) voluntarily choose set distances which are popular (i.e. 1 mile, 5km, 5 mile, 10km, etc..). Oh definitely running and triathlons are not the same thing. The tactics used running races and tri races are certainly different, and so is the training. C

distances and the public's perceptions. In the examples that were given, I started to question myself about why there wasn't a set standards of distances in a triath. I mean, when people think of marathons, they think of 26.2 miles. When the public thinks of triathlon, they think of the Ironman in Hawaii. Doing some simple calculations, I found the ratio of swimming:biking:running of an Ironman triathlon were 1:46.67:10.92. Example. swim 1/2 mile, bike 23.3 mile, run 5.46 miles. I really don't the full history of the triathlon except was told from watching ABC sports. If the Ironman was the first, then shouldn't standard model should be _base_d off this. If it wasn't, the _base_ it off of that. Wouldn't that make some sense or am I just blowing smoke? Of course this would still allow any organization to design thier triathlon any way they see fit.

In other discussions, the question of triathlons came up, regarding distances and the public's perceptions.
