Cycling, running, triathlons, etc. can all be done without any other person to compete against.
If the question had been "who are the most athletic period", I would agree that a triathlon or ironman challenge guy takes the cake.

Triathlon is both a race, and an individual event. At hobby levels, to most people it's individual. At the highest levels, triathletes compete for medals/podiums/world records/prizes. So yes, it's a competitive event.
