Tritonman 2022 Classic 
Do you know how triathlon originally began?  

In 1974, the San Diego Track Club put on the world’s very first triathlon called the Mission Bay Triathlon, which consisted of a 10-kilometer run, eight-kilometer bike and 500-meter swim on First Island in California.  

Today, the UC San Diego Triathlon Team continues the legacy and honors the sport by holding the Tritonman Classic, which is a 750-meter swim, 21-kilometer bike and five-kilometer run.  

This past weekend, the 15th annual Tritonman took place, with an Elite Development Draft Legal Spring race on Saturday, February 12, followed by a classic sprint-distance race on Sunday, February 13. 

Special shoutout to the photographer who captured Saturday’s race for us. Zack Goodman was behind the lens, who is the guide for the 2022 Toyota U.S. Elite Paratriathlon National Team member, Kyle Coon.
