Why not be good in one sport? just sayin’
You could run forward, backwards and then dance?
Swim, Bike, Run ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
It’s coming…
If we were we wouldn’t be doing Triathalon…
Sutto has been predicting this for a long time…

My takeaway is instead of being an uber biker or a great runner, be great in all three in the one sport of triathlon.
Drives me crazy when folks go crazy over bike splits in triathlon. I think we are starting to see the death of the one sport experts in triathlon, especially in the ITU. You need to be great at everything now, otherwise you don’t stand a chance.
Oh right, so the OP isn’t talking about something like… MTB/Track/road bike events rolled into one

That’s called an omnium. In places with enough racers, USAC already does some road/TT/crit omniums. Or at least road/crit. All on road, no offroad mix.
My initial thought was relays but that’s already here (maybe a WTC 70.3 relay WC is coming?!)

what I’m proposing is this:
Remove the swimming and running. people either die or don’t want to train for either of them.
make it - ride a bike, ride a bike, ride a bike.
well change the name from Triathlon to something stupid like cycling or something.

Pretty good idea. I agree that a name change is important. The name “triathlon” is so passe and is only whispered nowadays anyway.
About the biking, I don’t think 3x biking is the way of the future. I was told recently that everyone hates cyclists. Although drivers don’t want to hit them, cyclists are like magnets. It’s hard for drivers to avoid swerving toward a cyclist because of the magnetic pull caused by the hate. (Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to kill you.)
well, we will have to do it all inside then.
