PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Triathlons are growing in popularity, and some members of your class are very interested in competing in one. Some of your classmates are runners, some are swimmers, and some are cyclists. Others are just active people who want a challenge. As an experienced triathlete, you can offer them some advice on the sport.
