I have what may be a stupid question. I am new to the site and I am wondering whether races exist that involve just swimming and biking. I have some arthritis in my knees and don't run anymore. Thanks in advance.

i think you can search for "aquathons" although sometimes they are run swim and not bike swim. i have seen a variety of events promoted as aquathons.

There is an aquabike at Musselman July 19/09 - Geneva New York. I have friends who did the Musselman triathlon in 2008 and said it was a great venue.
"Aquabike returns in 2009
Thanks to a request from an athlete who wants to compete but can no longer run due to injury, the Musselman is proud to again offer an Aquabike division. Aquabike was formally introduced by USA Triathlon in 2004 and consists of the first two legs of the half-iron: a 1.2-mile swim and 56-mile bike. Participants receive three official split times (swim, T1, and bike) and start with their age group wave in the half-iron. Aquabike athletes will be given the same support as all Musselman athletes on and off the course but will not be eligible for awards."
