  1. How interesting. I honestly can't remember how I spell it...but I will spell it the right way from now on. :-)

  2. I also read that it is often miss-spelled because of the spelling of marAthon. People assume it is triathAlon. I too have made this mistake but never will again! I can't take credit for this information...a little birdie educated me on the spelling... ;)
