A: Do you like my new bicycle?

B: It looks very sporty!

A: It's a racing bike. I bought it so I could be in the triathlon.

B: Wow! I hear triathlons are difficult!

A: You have to train hard for them.

B: Are triathlons always based on the same three sports?

A: Yes. They are cycling, running, and swimming.

B: It's so exciting! I'll be sure to watch you compete.

A: It's not a competition against others.

B: It's not? No one can win first place?

A: You can, but I just want to prove to myself I can do it.

B: I'm sure you can! I'll even sponsor you in the race.
