what is a triathlon
A triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines.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, cycle and run components.
A transition area is set up where the athletes change gear for different segments of the race. This is where the switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur. These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories needed for the next stage of the race.

- Absolutely no drafting another bicycle or any other vehicle is allowed. A space of four bike lengths must be left between all riders at all times.

Yes it was universal. Towards the end they prompted 3 more laps to go, 2 more laps to go, last lap… It was a wonderful even.

Swimming volunteers were awesome, Went back and met everyone post the event. One more thing I can add in suggestions is a group photograph of all the athletes before the event begins
Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers for the triathlon today. Wonderfully managed event. Swimming in Talkatora pool itself was an amazing experience. Already looking forward to the next one. Just want to say, i think you did a fantastic job at the Tri event.

Chiro Da … This was a Benchmark . Mommy of all events so far ! From the time of start till the finish every detail was perfect . Standing yourself on the main zipping road to monitor traffic …till the time I walked out Adil Nargolwala shouting out to ask if I needed water. Shshank Pundir with his perfect briefing and Sangeeta Saikia with her zeal added to the class event . Rachna Subramanian & Shubcho Bagchi thank u too. Chiro Mitra and gang , you guys cracked it ! And this was the first time ever that I carried the snack dabba home ! Yummy .

While we are celebrating our win, its incomplete without thanking Volunteers and organizers for such a brilliantly oragnized event. Thanks to each guy coming ahead to offer water, biscuits n all. You all have been bearing scorching heat to ensure that we all are hydrated. Kudos to all of you. Thanks Shubho Bagchi, Chiro Mitra, Shshank Pundir sir’s and Rachna Subramanian madam. It was an awesome event. Thanks Gaurav Wadhwa for boosting and also checking out that i don’t dash this time to ground smile emoticon Great work, congrats to all. Long live spirit and team DIT.
PT Alison
To all those involved in todays Tri event, THANK YOU! The volunteers, spectators and organisers, you deserve a huge round of applause. I personally had a great time and hope the event will go from strength to strength : ) For those who didn’t do it, you missed out on something special! See you at the next one
Sanjay Sharma
Great event .. And very well put together.. Loved every bit of it.. Biggest thanks for you to have done it in Delhi.. Looking forward to oylmpic level triathlons now…
Kudos to each one of you on the organising team….
Take a bow guys.. Chiro Mitra , Shubho Bagchi , Rachna Subramanian , Sangeeta, Adil, Shshank and everyone else on the team
Had a phenomenal time today, guys! Hats off to all the organizers and volunteers. smile emoticon I suffered a crippling heatstroke a couple of weeks ago and spent most of my time in bed the past 2 weeks – wasn’t sure till the very end if I would be able to do the event. I’m so happy I was able to make it! It was incredible seeing so many athletes take over Talkatora Stadium and the Ridge area. Also a huge thank you to Chiro and Rachna for patiently answering my endless queries in the lead up to the event. smile emoticon The only disappointing thing was that it was clarified only at the last minute that those wearing a trisuit need not wear their bib, but I found that most volunteers weren’t aware of this and I found many were not noting down the bib number at various places though I kept saying it out loud (and it was on my arm too). I hope this will not have an adverse impact on the official timings. But this is a small teething problem that I’m sure can be rectified in the next edition. A job well done, guys! Three cheers for making today a success. smile emoticon
