(Other definitions for triathlon that I've seen before include "Triple athletic event" , "Sporting contest comprising swimming, cycling and running" , "Contest involving swimming, running and cycling" , "Swimming/cycling/running event" , "Sporting event" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
