Triathlon is an athletic event consisting of swimming, cycling and running over various distances.
In most modern triathlons, these events are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence and a competitor's official time includes the time required between the individual legs of the race, including any time necessary for changing clothes and shoes.
Triathlon was incorporated into the Asian Games in 2006.
The Asian Games, which this year combine a total 45 nations from across the continent, is considered the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympics. The Games will end on October fourth.
