I can think of nothing useful this info can convey. With what are you correlating it?
What conclusions could this limited set of factors support?
Male IM triathletes over 40 like biking, but not running, esp. if from Canada, but only if they train less than 25 hrs weekly perhaps?

I need to do a presentation on Triathlons as part of a course I am doing (the topic was picked at random for me) - I thought I would conduct a survey so i could put some graphs together (always good to have graphs in a presentation!!) showing some stats of triathlon competitors. I would be grateful if any of you reading this would take the time to reply to this message and list your answers to the following questions:
1- Are you male or female?
2- What age are you?
3- What country are you from?
4- How many Triathlons have you competed in?
5- What type of Triathlon do you usually compete in? (Olympic,half , full etc)
6- Which of the 3 triathlon disciplines do you enjoy most? and which do you enjoy least?
7- How many hours training a week (on average) do you do?
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply, Pavel78
