Now it's taking the sport indoors to select fitness centers, using pools, bikes and treadmills. The indoor triathlon performance is measured by total distance covered in the time allowed, generally 60 minutes (10 in the pool, 30 in a dedicated cycling studio and 20 on the treadmill).

Life Time will hold 30 of the events this year, and they are open to members and nonmembers alike. For more information, visit www.lifetimefitness.com/events.
