Khupha amacandelo angundoqo okhuphiswano lwe triathlon ngokulandelelana, uze ucacise icandelo ngalinye.
Context:Nangona imithetho ethile ye-triathlon ingahluka ngokuxhomekeka kwiqumrhu elilawulayo (umzekelo, i-World Triathlon, i-USA Triathlon), kunye nendawo yomdyarho ngamnye, kukho imigaqo ethile esisiseko. Ngokwesithethe, i-triathlon ngumdlalo womntu ngamnye yaye iimbaleki ziyakhuphisana ukuze zifumane elona xesha lihle. Ngenxa yoko, iimbaleki azivumelekanga ukuba zifumane uncedo kuye nabani na ongekho kolu gqatso, ngaphandle kwamavolontiya ancedisayo agunyaziswe ngulo gqatso asasaza ukutya namanzi kulo mdyarho.   Indawo yokutshintsha (iibhayisikile) yeHamburg Triathlon, 2002 Iitrayiathlon zihlelwa ngamaxesha ngamanqanaba amahlanu alandelelanayo:  ukusuka ekuqaleni kokubhukuda ukuya ekuqaleni kwenguqu yokuqala (ixesha lokubhukuda); ukusuka ekuqaleni kwenguqu yokuqala ukuya ekupheleni kwenguqu yokuqala (ixesha T1); ukusuka ekuqaleni kokukhwela ibhayisekile ukuya ekupheleni kwesigaba sokukhwela ibhayisekile (ixesha lokuhamba ngebhayisekile); ukusuka ekuqaleni kwenguqu yesibini ukuya ekupheleni kwenguqu yesibini (ixesha T2); ekugqibeleni ukusuka ekuqaleni komdyarho ukuya esiphelweni somdyarho, ngelo xesha i-triathlon igqityiwe. Iziphumo zidla ngokushicilelwa kwiiwebhsayithi ezisemthethweni zize zibonise ixesha lomntu ngamnye obekade edlala umdlalo we-triathlon, ixesha lakhe lokubhukuda, ixesha lakhe lokukhwela ibhayisekile, ixesha lakhe lokubaleka nexesha lakhe elipheleleyo. Ezinye iintlanga nazo zibhala amaxesha okuguquka ngokwahlukeneyo.  Eminye imithetho ye-triathlon iyahluka ukusuka kumdyarho ukuya kumdyarho kwaye ngokubanzi ibandakanya inkcazo yezixhobo ezivumelekayo (umzekelo, i-wetsuits zivumelekile kwimidlalo ye-USAT kwinqanaba lokubhukuda lemidlalo ethile xa ubushushu bamanzi bungaphantsi kwe-25.6 ° C (78.1 ° F)), kunye nezithintelo ngokuchasene nokuphazamisana phakathi kweembaleki. Ukongezelela, ukusetyenziswa kweflippers okanye ezinye izinto zokuncedisa ukuqubha nokudada akuvumelekanga kwi-triathlon yaye kunokubangela ukuba umntu angafaneleki.  Omnye umgaqo obandakanya umlenze webhayisekile kukuba isigcina-ntloko somntu okhuphisanayo kufuneka sinxitywe phambi kokuba umntu okhuphisanayo akhwele (okanye athathe, kwimimandla ethile) ibhayisekile, kwaye kufuneka ihlale injalo de umntu okhuphisanayo ehle; umntu okhuphisanayo akanakufuneka ukuba anxibe isigcina-ntloko xa engekho kwibhayisekile (umzekelo xa elungisa ingxaki yoomatshini). Ukusilela ukuthobela lo mthetho kuya kukhokelela ekungafanelekini. Ukongeza, ngelixa bekwibala leebhayisikile, zonke iibhayisikile kufuneka ziqhutywe kuphela ngamandla omntu nangamandla omntu. Ngaphandle kokutyhala ibhayisekile, nawuphi na umsebenzi wokuqhubela phambili owenziwe ngokusetyenziswa kwezandla uyakwalelwa. Ukuba isithuthuthu somntu okhuphisanayo sinokungasebenzi kakuhle banokuqhubeka nogqatso logama nje besenza njalo ngebhayisekile yabo. Kukwakho nemithetho engqongqo malunga nomgca 'wokufaka ibhayisekile'. Abakhuphiswano abanakuqala ukukhwela ibhayisekile yabo ngaphandle kwenguqu de babe ngaphaya komgca obhalwe ngokucacileyo. Ukukhwela ibhayisekile ngaphambi koku kunokubangela isohlwayo (umzekelo: isohlwayo sexesha lemizuzwana eli-15 kwiiOlimpiki zaseLondon ngo-2012 senziwa kuJonathan Brownlee, okhuphisana noGreat Britain, ngokukhwela ibhayisekile yakhe kwangethuba kakhulu.)  Ezinye izohlwayo zexesha zisenokufunyanwa ngexesha lomdyarho, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukubhala kwibhayisekile kumdyarho ongekhoyo, ukudlula okungafanelekanga, ukulahla inkunkuma kwikhondo, kunye nokuziphatha okungekho emdlalweni.
Imidlalo ye-triathlon ilandelwa ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo ngokwamacandelo amahlanu. Ukususela ekuqaleni kokubhukuda ukuya ekuqaleni kokuguquka kokuqala (ixesha lokubhukuda). Ukusetyenziswa kwee-flippers okanye ezinye izinto zokuncedisa ukuqubha kunye nokuncedisa ukuqubha akukho semthethweni. Ukususela ekuqaleni kwenguqu yokuqala ukuya ekupheleni kwenguqu yokuqala (ixesha le-T1). Ukusuka ekuqaleni kokukhwela ibhayisekile ukuya ekupheleni kwesigaba sokukhwela ibhayisekile (ixesha lokuhamba ngebhayisekile). Isigcina-ntloko somntu okhuphisanayo kufuneka sinxitywe phambi kokuba umntu okhuphisanayo akhwele ibhayisekile, kwaye kufuneka sihlale sinxitywe de umntu okhuphisanayo ehle. Ukususela ekuqaleni kwenguqu yesibini ukuya ekupheleni kwenguqu yesibini (ixesha le-T2) Ekugqibeleni ukusuka ekuqaleni komdyarho ukuya ekupheleni komdyarho, apho ugqatso lwe triathlon lugqityiwe.
