What is my triathlon?

I am doing the Lavaman triathlon, information linked here. It is an Olympic distance triathlon, which means a 1.5 K swim, 40 KM bike ride, and 10 K run. For the Philistines who never bothered to learn the metric system, it's approximately a .9 mile swim, a 24 mile bike ride, and a 6 mile run. I can already do a 24 mile ride and 6 mile run, but probably not on the same day, so I do have something to build on.

If I do well, maybe I'll try out for the Olympics in a few years! No promises though. Also I believe Lance Armstrong, who most of us know as somewhat of a bicycle specialist, used to do triathlons. No promises that I'll be wearing a yellow jersey in the future but wonders do never cease.
