On september 25, 1974 in San Diego was on Fiesta Island a triathlon competition held that for the first time the name ' Triathlon ' received. However, the order was different: it was 5 miles walked, biked and swum from 600 yards.

In 1977, there was a bar on the island of Honolulu Primo a discussion between naval officer John Collins, his wife Judy and some others. The debate was about the question of which athletes had the best condition now: runners or swimmers or cyclists. Colllins managed to tell that, according to an article published in Sports Illustrated Magazine, the legendary Eddy Merckx, professional road bicycle racer from Belgium, the highest measured oxygen uptake (the VO2max) had all the athletes of the world.So were riders might be fitter than any other athletes. Had Collins and his wife Judy in 1974 and in 1975 already taken part in the triathlons staged by the San Diego Track Club and the Optimist Sports Fiesta Triathlon in Coronado, California in 1975. A number of soldiers in the bar were also familiar with these contests. Therefore, they decided to organize a contest that all long-distance races of Honolulu combined, nl. The Waikiki Roughwater Swim (3.8 km), the Around Oahu Bike Race (185 km)-originally a two day event and the Honolulu marathon (42.195 km). Collins calculated that, by 3 miles of the bike trail to take off and by counter clockwise direction driving around the island, the bike leg could start at the finish of the swimming contest and could end up at the Aloha Tower, the traditional start of the Honolulu Marathon. Who could win these three games in a row, was allowed to visit the Ironman (the man of steel) call.

The Ironman Hawaii remained a fun get-together of some fanatics, to the American media this outrageous contest and discovered extensive about messages. All over the world began to organize one triathlons. Triathlon is a young sport, but no other sport has made such a quick rise. Although by the International Triathlon Union (ITU) the World Championship long distance takes place every year in a different country now, consider all the Ironman Hawaii Triathlon professionals still as the unofficial World Championship. The contest takes place now around the place, Kailua Konaon the west coast of the island of Hawaii. One swims the Kailua Bay to Keauhou, drops of about Hawi (on the northern tip) and back again and finally runs a marathon.

Since the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, the triathlon added to the Olympic Games. However, no one concentrates all Triathlon, but the so-called Olympic distance: 1.5 km swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running. Drafting when cycling is allowed. That is, they may be driven in groups, short on each other, rather than a mandatory gap should be held. It is also in Worldcups drafting released. ===Triathlon in Belgium[ Edit] === ==World Record Holder<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The current world record holder in the Triathlon is the German Andreas Raelert.
