The sad truth is that most people who do triathlons are known for something else. It's like, did you know that Jennifer Lopez did a triathlon? Of course you did. You've been reading this whole article. The thing is, Jennifer Lopez is known more for singing, acting, judging, and general Jennifer Lopez-ness rather than being a triathlete. It's just another thread in the rich tapestry of what it is to be J-Lo.

The average person can't name a triathlete. We're even having trouble and we researched the top eight the world has ever known. We want to say...Vlad Dracula? No, that was some other guy. Still, if that water wasn't running, and the triathlon was at night, we like Dracula's chances.

A triathlon is the kind of thing you get glory for in your regular life. It's like, hey, did you know Steve from accounting did a triathlon? Wow, he's really tough. Too bad he's so boring.
