What exactly is a Trithalon?

In case this question haunts you as it does me! An Olympic Distance Triathalon (Even the title is daunting) is 1.5k swimming, for those who are kilometer challenged 0.9 mile.  An interesting note here is that I never believed that Great Britain would ever change to the metric system, I mean we aren't giving up our beloved Pound for the EEC.  The biking comes next which is 20k or 25 miles, then comes the dreaded run only a 10k or 6.2 miles.  Here is our training schedule for next week:
Monday - Day off
Tuesday - Swim 1000 yds am - Run 4 miles pm
Wednesday - Bike 15 miles
Thursday - Swim 1250 yds am - Run 4 miles pm
Friday - Bike 15miles
Saturday - Swim 1000 yds am - Run 6 miles pm
Sunday - Bike 25 miles
Bear in mind that this is a 10 week training schedule for beginners who just want to be able to finish!!
