A triathlon is a multi-skill sport involving swimming, cycling, then running. Obviously it is harder than any of the 3 events done independently and to succeed in a triathlon you need to be able to compete in all 3 events.

Sprint distances are usually 0.75 km swim, 10 km ride, and 7.5 ride while an Ironman is a 4 km swim, 180 km ride, and 42 km run.
