It all began out with the idea of an athlete. On getting in a biathlon, he began to wonder how difficult it would be if the distances covered by athletes while running and also those covered by swimmers is increased significantly. A course was made in such a way that there would be a track where one would run bare footed and another track where one would need shoes. On doing this, he consulted on whether this event would feature in the calendar.

Water is widely used in this competition. However, the water that is used is usually subjected to low temperature levels of about fifteen degree Celsius. Due to these low temperatures one needs a wet suit of their own. Competitions which involved cycling were conducted along the lakes and areas whose hills have a good view. As most people consider cycling as a difficult event, the course was designed in such a way that there is watering points in between some intervals.

This event was made up of nine kilometers of running, eight kilometers of cycling and five hundred yards of swimming. All this were broken down into manageable parts. Part of the running would be done on the grass while another bit on sand. The participants had to have their own bicycles. Only five participants would receive prizes.

These events are enriched with a wide range of entertaining activities. Nevertheless, it is crucial to pay important consideration to some health aspects before being involved in such active activities. Some health complications may occur due to such random activities.

This form of an event usually provides a forum through which people may interact, socialize and also share ideas. It caters for the various age brackets involved in the competition. Its organization considers age as a basis of grouping or forming a team.

The event is usually in such a way that team work is promoted. Teams are formed to promote competitiveness in the activities of the day. One can participate in more than one activity and receive a price for that. This enhances the degree of willingness to participate in the various events.
