Swim-bike-run race, for short (3)

I believe the answer is:

tri

(Other definitions for tri that I've seen before include "Denotes three" , "Prefix indicating three" , "Prefix denoting three" , "Prefix meaning three" , "Three-point" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal and The New York Times.
