TRIATHLON
First appearance in the Central American and Caribbean Games: 1998
Triathlon was created in the 1970s in the San Diego Track Club, in the United States, as an alternative to the rigorous race trainings to keep in shape. This event includes swimming, cycling and athletics. In the Pan American Games, the triathlon race is 1.5 km of swimming, 40 km of cycling and 10 km of running. The winner is the one who finishes the race first. What started as an alternative ended up becoming a real challenge for the human body. Subsequently, the Ironman event also began as a challenge in the 70s. A group of members of the Waikiki Swim Club in Hawaii proposed a challenge in order to find out who really was an ironman and created an event with longer routes than the Pan American and Olympic triathlon.
