Multisport 101: Swim Bike Run Series

Multisport; (wikipedia) is a family of athletic competitions in which athletes race in a continuous series of stages or legs, and rapidly switch from one athletic discipline to another in order to achieve the best overall time. Most multisport events are endurance races, consisting of aerobic activities such as cycling, running, kayaking and cross-country skiing.

The most common multisport event is the triathlon. An event involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance events. 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, bike, and run legs.

Since multisport is fast-becoming a global sport competition, attracting numbers of fitness buffs and endurance athletes particularly in the country, Hinge Inquirer Publications is conducting a series of lectures dubbed as Multisport 101 : Swim Bike Run.
