Hmm! Been racing for 16 years and average 10-12 races a year…
This includes 12 Ironmans, 20+ 1/2 Ironmans, a butt load of sprints and an Oly here and there.
2 Iroman’s (never again)
8 Half Ironmans (again one day)
20 Olympic distance (soon I hope)
30 spirnt (soon I hope)
Have not been racing for a few years due to kids, life and injury but hope to get back to it in the new future.
Not sure, but I’d guestimate around 200.

Probably about 50 triathlons spanning all distances.
Maybe 20 duathlons.
Started racing in 2001, have probably finished 25 races or so since then. Usually just 3-4 races per year.
It is clear from this thread that I don’t race enough. Last year I raced 17 times, but 5 were running races, and 6 more were XC ski race, leaving only 6 actual triathlons (3xIM, 2xHalf IM, 1x1/3IM). I think more Olympic and sprint tris need to be added to the mix but with only a 3.5 month racing season up here, if you race every second weekend, that leaves only 6-8 other weekend to actually recover/taper/train!
I have been racing multisport since 1985. About 225 here…but I’ve lost exact track. You can add almost as many 5k-Ultramarathon events in there as well, and a smattering of cycling races as well. For instance…this year will have 15-18 events for me, including running. There were heavier years and leaner years in that timeframe.
I think the newer triathletes probably race less and focus on just a few races a year, particularly due to the popularity of IM distance. At least that is my observation of teammates and fellow triathletes I talk to at the races. We used to race all the time…nearly every week, sometimes twice a week. I might pull one of those off this year doing a 10k on Saturday and the Carboro Classic duathlon on Sunday.
I’m over 100 - probably around 115ish in triathlon 170 if we go “multisport” (du’s adventure races, aquathon, etc). Most proud of the ~115 tris and nary a DNF.

Jeez, just triathlons (are you pissing off the duathletes)? My first race was in '82. There’s 3 Ironmans in there & over 170 other triathlons too. Throw in the du’s & the aqua’s & the number goes over 200.
Also new, compared to many on this forum
1 Ironman
5 Half Ironmans
2 Half Aquabike (I know, doesn’t count…)
5 Olympic distance
1 Sprint
2 Super Sprint
I think that’s accurate…

171 including IMFL and IMWI. First Tri in 1983.
First biathlon(duathlon now) in 89. I figure at least 100 tris and bis/dus.
I work in a senior home (70-100 year olds) and I’m in charge or running the fitness center 3 days a week. A treadmill, a stationary recumbent fitness cycle, a simple MPEX multi gym, and a scale. I basically help residents on and off the equipment and help them achieve any therapy and fitness goals. Usually residents use one piece of equipment a day, but there may be one or two that will use two or even all three machines.
I tell those residents who use the bike and the treadmill that if they took a shower that morning, they just did a triathlon.
