Transition areas are positioned both between the swim and bike segments (T1), and between the bike and run segments (T2) and are where the switches from swimming to cycling and cycling to running occur.过渡区的位置都在游泳和自行车之间段（T1）的之间，以及自行车和（T2）和游泳是从哪里切换到骑自行车和骑自行车运行出现运行区段。

These areas are used to store bicycles, performance apparel, and any other accessories needed for preparing and for the next stage of the race.这些领域是用来存放自行车，演出服装，和准备，为下一阶段的比赛所需的任何其他配件。

The time spent in T1 and T2 are included in the overall time of the race. [ 3 ] Transitions areas can vary in size depending on the number of participants expected for the race.和T2 T1的时间花费在包括在比赛中。

[ edit ] History [ 编辑] 历史
Triathlon is considered by some to have its beginnings in 1920s France . [ 6 ] According to triathlon historian and author Scott Tinley (and others [ 7 ] ), the origin of triathlon is attributed to a race during the 1920s-1930s that was called variously "Les trois sports", "La Course des Débrouillards", and "La course des ToucheàTout".铁人三项是由有一些人认为它在20世纪20年代开始法国。

[6]根据铁人三项历史学家和作家斯科特廷利（和其他人[7] ），铁人三项起源是由于比赛期间，20世纪20年代，30年代，被称为不同程度“莱斯三河体育”，
“拉班德Débrouillards”，和“La当然德德勤à兜售”。

Nowadays, this race is held every year in France near Joinville-le-Pont , in Meulan and Poissy .如今，这场比赛是在法国举行每年近约恩维利乐蓬，在Meulan和普瓦西。

An earlier tri-sport event in 1902 featured running, cycling, and canoeing. [ 7 ] There are documented tri-sport events featuring running, swimming, & cycling (not necessarily in that order) in 1920, 1921, 1945, and the 1960s. [ 7 ] In 1920, the French newspaper "L´Auto" reported on a competition called "Les Trois Sports" with a 3 km run, 12 km bike, and a swim across the channel Marne .较早的三1902年体育事件在精选跑步，骑自行车和皮划艇。

[7]有记载，游泳，骑自行车及（不一定按此顺序排列）于1920年，1921年，1945年三体育活动具有运行，20世纪60年代。

[7] 1920年，法国报纸“欧莱雅汽车”报道公里自行车，体育“为3的竞争称为”莱斯三河公里跑步，12，游过通道的马恩河。

Those three parts were done without any break.这三个部分进行了没有任何突破。

Another event was held in 1921 in Marseilles with the order of events bike-run-swim.另一个事件是1921年举行的马赛与事件的顺序自行车运行，游泳。

Among the participants was American athlete Charles Sector. [ 8 ] There are also articles in French newspapers about a race in Marseille in 1927.在与会者的是美国选手查尔斯部门。

[8]也有27年在法国马赛的文章在报纸上有关比赛。

There is a 1934 article about "Les Trois Sports" (the three sports) in the city of La Rochelle , a race with: (1) a channel crossing (c. 200 m), (2) a bike competition (10 km) around the harbor of La Rochelle and the parcLaleu, and (3) a run (1200 m) in the stadium André-Barbeau.有一个体育“1934年一篇关于”莱斯三河）在城市（体育三拉罗谢尔，与比赛：（1）海峡横渡（约200米），（2）自行车赛（10公里）周围的拉罗谢尔港口和ParcLaleu，（3）在大球场安德烈巴博运行（1200米）。

[ edit ] Modern triathlon [ 编辑] 现代铁人三项
The first modern swim/bike/run event to be called a 'triathlon' was held at Mission
Bay, San Diego, California on September 25, 1974.第一届现代游泳/自行车/运行事件被称为'铁人三项'是在举行使命湾，加利福尼亚州圣迭戈09月25日，1974。

The race was conceived and directed by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan, members of the San Diego Track Club, and was sponsored by the track club.这场比赛的构思和杰克斯通和唐沙纳汉，在圣地亚哥田径俱乐部会员执导，由俱乐部主办的轨道。

46 participants entered this event.进入46人参加这次活动。

It was reportedly not inspired by the French events, [ 9 ] although a race the following year at Fiesta Island, California, is sometimes called 'the first triathlon in America.' [ 6 ]据报道，作者没有灵感来自于法国的事件，[9]虽然比赛岛，次年在加州的嘉年华，有时被称为'美国的第一个铁人三项。

[ edit ] Ironman [ 编辑] 铁人
The first modern long-distance triathlon event was the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon .第一届现代远距离铁人三项事件是夏威夷铁人三项。

It included a swim of 2.4 miles (3.9 km), a bike ride of 112 miles (180 km), and a marathon run of 42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi).它包括游泳2.4英里（3.9公里），180公里自行车骑了112英里（）和马拉松）运行42.195公里（26.219英里。

It was conceived during the awards ceremony for the 1977 Oahu Perimeter Relay (a running race for 5-person teams).它的构思是在1977年的颁奖仪式瓦胡岛周边接力（一队人赛跑5 -）。

Among the participants were numerous representatives of both the Mid-Pacific Road Runners and the Waikiki Swim Club , whose members had long been debating which athletes were more fit: runners or swimmers.在与会者中，许多代表和双方的中太平洋公路赛跑威基基游泳俱乐部，其成员长期以来一直争论的运动员们也更适合：跑步或游泳。

On this occasion, US Navy Commander John Collins pointed out that a recent article in Sports Illustrated magazine had declared that Eddy Merckx , the great Belgian cyclist, had the highest recorded " maximum oxygen uptake " of any athlete ever measured, so perhaps cyclists were more fit than anyone.在此之际，美国海军司令约翰柯林斯指出，在最近的文章体育画报杂志曾宣称，埃迪Merckx，伟大的比利时自行车运动员，具有最高的记录“最大摄氧量“有史以来测试过的任何运动员，所以也许骑自行车的人更多适合于任何人。

Collins and his wife, Judy, had taken part in the triathlons staged in 1974 and 1975 by the San Diego Track Club in and around Mission Bay, California, as well as the Optimist Sports Fiesta Triathlon in Coronado, California , in 1975.柯林斯和他的妻子朱迪，采取了铁人三项运动部分，在嘉年华举行铁人三项在1974年和1975年的圣地亚哥田径俱乐部使命湾及周边地区，加利福尼亚州，以及乐观的科罗纳多，加利福尼亚州，于1975年。

A number of the other military athletes in attendance were also familiar with the San Diego races, so they understood the concept when Collins suggested that the debate should be settled through a race combining the three existing long-distance competitions already on the island: the Waikiki Roughwater Swim 2.4 miles (3.9 km), the Around-Oahu Bike Race (115 miles (185 km); originally a two-day event) and the
42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi) Honolulu Marathon .在出席会议的其他军事运动员人数也与圣地亚哥的比赛熟悉，所以他们理解这个概念时，柯林斯认为，辩论应该通过结合岛内现有三个长距离赛跑比赛中已经解决：威基基Roughwater游泳二点四英里（3.9公里），周围，瓦胡岛自行车赛（一百一十五英里（185公里），原本是一个为期两天的事件）和四十二点一九五公里（26.219英里），檀香山马拉松赛。

No one present had ever done the bike race so they did not realize it was a two-day, not one-day, event.目前还没有人做过这样的自行车比赛，他们并没有意识到这是一个为期两天的，而不是一个为期一天的活动。

Collins calculated that, by shaving 3 miles (4.8 km) off the course and riding counter-clockwise around the island, the bike leg could start at the finish of the Waikiki Rough Water and end at the Aloha Tower , the traditional start of the Honolulu Marathon.柯林斯岛内计算，英里（4.8公里）关闭3剃须过程中，顺时针柜台周围和骑马，自行车腿可以开始在水上完成的威基基粗糙和结束在阿啰哈塔，传统的檀香山开始马拉松赛。

Prior to racing, each athlete received three sheets of paper listing a few rules and a course description.比赛之前，每位运动员接受三纸列出了一些规则和课程描述。

Handwritten on the last page was this exhortation:在最后一页是这样的手写告诫：
““Swim 2.4 miles!游泳2.4英里！Bike 112 miles!自行车112英里！Run 26.2 miles!跑26.2英里！Brag for the rest of your life! [ 10 ]吹嘘自己的余生为你的！
[10] ”“
—Commander Collins, USN (1978) -指挥官柯林斯，美国海军（1978）
With a nod to a local runner who was notorious for his demanding workouts, Collins said:以本地运动员是谁他的要求锻炼臭名昭著的点头，柯林斯说：
““Whoever finishes first, we'll call him the Ironman.谁首先完成，我们会打电话给他的铁人。

”“
—Commander Collins, USN (1978) [ 11 ] -指挥官柯林斯，美国海军（1978）[11] Of the fifteen men to start off in the early morning on February 18, 1978, twelve completed the race and the world's first Ironman, Gordon Haller , completed it in 11 hours, 46 minutes, and 58 seconds. [ 11 ]男人的15上午开始了在早期2月18日，1978年，完成了十二个种族和世界上第一个铁人，戈登哈勒，它在11小时内完成，46分钟和58秒。

Today, a number of triathlon events over varying distances are held around the world.今天，铁人三项活动的次数在不同的距离在世界各地举行。

The standard "Olympic Distance" of 1.5/40/10 km (.93/24.8/6.2 miles) was created by long time triathlon race director Jim Curl in the mid-1980s, after he and partner Carl Thomas produced the US Triathlon Series (USTS) between 1982 and 1997. [ 12 ] The Hawaii Ironman Triathlon serves as the Ironman World Championship.标准的“奥运距离”

The International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in 1989 as the international governing body of the sport, with the chief goal, at that time, to put triathlon on the Olympic program. [ 14 ] For its part, the ITU does not sanction WTC races.; [ 15 ] however, USAT uses a combination of ITU and WTC rules to sanction WTC's branded events.

After registration the racers are provided a race number, colored swim cap , and, if the event is being electronically timed, a timing band.注册后，车手们提供一个比赛号码，彩色泳帽，而且，如果该事件被电子定时，定时带。

Athletes will either be provided or briefed on details of the course, rules, and any problems to look out for (road conditions, closures, traffic lights, aid stations). [ 22 ] At a major event, such as an Ironman or a Long Course Championship, triathletes may be required to set up and check-in their bike in the transition area a day or two prior to the race start, leaving it overnight and under guard.

[22]在一个重大的事件，如铁人或一龙当然锦标赛，铁人三项可能需要设立和办理手续的自行车在过渡区一两天比赛开始之前，把它留给下通宵守护。

[23]
Transition area (bicycles) of Hamburg Triathlon, 2002过渡区（自行车），汉堡铁人三项，2002年On the race day, prior to the start of competition, athletes will generally be provided with a bike rack to hold their bicycle and a small section of ground space for shoes, clothing, etc. within the transition area.在比赛当天，之前的
比赛开始，运动员一般会提供自行车机架持有其自行车和地面空间鞋，衣服等过渡区域内的一小部分。

In some triathlons, there are two transition areas, one for the swim/bike change, then one for the bike/run change at a different location.在一些铁人三项，有两个过渡区，为游泳/自行车变化之一，自行车，然后一/运行在不同位置的变化。

The bicycle stage does not finish in the same place it begins, so athletes set up two transition areas. [ 24 ]自行车的阶段并不在同一个地方完成它的开始，所以运动员设立了两个过渡区。

[24]
Racers are generally categorized into separate professional and amateur categories.赛车手一般分为单独的专业和业余的类别。

Amateurs, who make up the large majority of triathletes, are often referred to as "age groupers" since they are typically further classified by sex and age; which offers the opportunity to compete against others of one's own gender and age group.业余爱好者，谁构成了三项铁人运动员大部分，往往被称为“年龄石斑鱼”，因为它们通常进一步按性别和年龄;它提供了竞争的机会对自己的性别和年龄组的人。

The age groups are defined in five or ten year intervals. [ 24 ] There is typically a lower age limit; which can vary from race to race.各年龄组别的定义在五年或十年的时间间隔。

[24]这是一个典型的年龄下限，这可以从比赛的比赛。

In some triathlons, heavier amateur athletes may have the option to compete against others closer to their own weight since weight is often considered an impediment to speed.在一些铁人三项，加重业余运动员可以选择与别人竞争更接近自己的体重，因为体重通常被认为是阻碍速度。

As an example, under USA Triathlon rules, a "Clydesdale" athlete are those men over 200 pounds, while "Athena" athletes are women over 150 pounds. [ 25 ] Other races and organizations can choose whether or not to offer Clydesdale and Athena—type divisions and set their own weight standards.作为一个例子，在美国铁人三项赛的规则，“克莱兹代尔”运动员是二百磅那些男人过来，而“雅典娜”的运动员超过150磅的妇女。

[25]其他种族和组织可以选择是否或不提供Clydesdale和雅典娜，型师，并设置自己的体重标准。

Depending on the type and size of the race, there may be any of the following methods implemented to start the race.根据不同的类型和规模的比赛，有可能是在比赛开始实施的下列任何一种方法。

In a mass start, all athletes enter the water and begin the competition following a single start signal.在大规模的开始，所有运动员入水，开始下一个启动信号的竞争。

In wave start events, smaller groups of athletes begin the race every few minutes.在波开始活动，小团体的运动员在比赛开始每隔几分钟。

An athlete's wave is usually determined either by age group or by predicted swim time.运动员的波通常取决于无论是年龄组或预测的游泳时间。

Wave starts are more common in shorter races where a large number of amateur athletes are competing. [ 26 ] Another option is individual time trial starts, where athletes enter the water one at a time, a few seconds apart [ 27 ]波开始有更多的比赛常见的短凡业余运动员大量的相互竞争。

[26]另一种选择是个人计时赛开始，在运动员入水的时候一次，一秒钟，除了少数[27]
The swim leg usually proceeds around a series of marked buoys before athletes exit
the water near the transition area.游泳腿通常标收益周围一系列的浮标前，运动员退出水域附近的过渡。

Racers exit out of the water, enter the transition area, and change from their swim gear and into their cycling gear.车手退出了水，进入过渡区，并改变他们的游泳到他们的自行车齿轮和齿轮。

Competition and pressure for faster times have led to the development of specialized triathlon clothing that is adequate for both swimming and cycling, allowing many racers to have a transition that consists of only removing their wetsuit and goggles and pulling on a helmet and cycling shoes.竞争和更快的时间压力导致了服装专业铁人三项充分发展，是为游泳和骑自行车，让许多车手有一个过渡，只有消除他们的潜水衣和护目镜和头盔，自行车鞋拔组成。

In some cases, racers leave their cycling shoes attached to their bicycle pedals and slip their feet into them while riding.在某些情况下，离开自己的自行车赛车鞋重视他们的自行车踏板和他们的脚放进去滑骑。

Some triathletes don't wear socks, decreasing their time spent in transition even more.有些铁人三项选手不穿袜子，减少他们的时间过渡更加度过的。

The cycling stage proceeds around a marked course, typically on public roads.当然，周围循环阶段的显着收益，通常在公共道路。

In many cases, especially smaller triathlons, roads are not closed to automobiles; however, traffic coordinators are often present to help control traffic.在许多情况下，特别是小铁人三项，道路不封闭，汽车，但是，目前的交通协调员经常帮助控制流量。

Typically, the cycling stage finishes back at the same transition area.通常情况下，骑自行车阶段完成后在同一过渡区。

Racers enter the transition area, rack their bicycles, and quickly change into running shoes before heading out for the final stage.车手进入过渡区，架单车，并迅速改变，然后前往跑鞋的最终阶段。

The running stage usually ends at a separate finish line near the transition area.通常的运行阶段结束于一个单独的过渡区附近的终点线。

In most races, "aid stations" located on the bike and run courses provide water and energy drinks to the athletes as they pass by.在大多数的比赛，“急救站”的课程设自行车和运行提供水和能量饮料的运动员及他们擦肩而过。

Aid stations at longer events may often provide various types of food as well, including such items as energy bars , energy gels , fruit, cookies, and ice.在较长的事件往往急救站提供各类食品，以及，包括项目的这种能量棒，能源凝胶，水果，饼干和冰。

Once the triathletes have completed the event, there is typically another aid station for them to get water, fruit, and other post-race refreshments.一旦完成铁人三项活动，通常就是他们的另一个把水，水果急救站和其他赛后点心。

Occasionally, at the end of larger or longer events, the provided amenities and post-race celebrations may be more elaborate.偶尔，在较大或较长的活动结束，所提供的设施和赛后举行的庆祝活动可能会更复杂。

[ edit ] Rules of triathlon [ 编辑] 铁人三项规则
While specific rules for triathlon can vary depending on the governing body (eg USA Triathlon, ITU ), as well as for an individual race venue, there are some basic universal rules.虽然铁人三项具体规则可能有所不同，根据不同的管理机构（如美国铁人三项国际电联），以及为个人比赛的场地，有一些基本的普遍规则。

Traditionally, triathlon is an individual sport and each athlete is competing against the course and the clock for the best time.传统上，铁人三项是一项个人运动，每个运动员是针对课程，以获得最佳时钟竞争。

As such, athletes are not allowed to receive assistance from anyone else inside or outside the race, with the exception of race-sanctioned aid volunteers who distribute food and water on the course. [ 28 ] [ 29 ]因此，运动员不得接受赛事以外的任何其他人的协助内部或种族，与例外批准的急救志愿者在球场上谁分发食物和水。

[28] [29]
Triathlons are timed in five sequential sections: 1) from the start of the swim to the beginning of the first transition (swim time); 2) from the beginning of the first transition to the end of the first transition (T1 time); 3) from the start of the cycling to the end of the cycling leg (cycling time); 4) from the beginning of the second transition to the end of the second transition (T2 time); 5) and finally from the start of the run to the end of the run, at which time the triathlon is completed. [ 29 ] Results are usually posted on official websites and will show for each triathlete his/her swim time; cycle time (with transitions included); run time; and total time.铁人三项运动是连续第五年定时：1）从一开始就游到了第一次转换（游泳时间）开始，2从第一个过渡到第一次转换（T1的时间）结束的开始），3 ）从自行车到腿（循环时间）结束循环的开始; 4第二过渡到第二个转变（T2的时间）结束的开始）5），最后从运行开始到运行结束了，此时的铁人三项完成。

[29]结果通常是官方网站上公布，并会显示每个三项铁人他/她的游泳时间，周期时间（包括转换）;运行时间和总时间。

Some races also post transition times separately.一些比赛也分别后过渡时间。

Other rules of triathlon vary from race to race and generally involve descriptions of allowable equipment (for example, wetsuits are allowed in USAT events in the swimming stage of some races when the water temperature is below 79 °F (26 °C), [ 30 ] and prohibitions against interference between athletes. [ 29 ]其他规则的铁人三项比赛有所不同种族和一般涉及设备说明允许的（例如，雨衣是比赛允许一些USAT游泳舞台活动在当水的温度，低于79华氏度（26℃）[30 ]和禁令对运动员相互干扰。
