Two athletes wearing red swim caps and sports watches swim in open water, surrounded by greenery. The swimmer in front wears a yellow sleeves and is labeled "SwimRun" while both are mid-stroke splashing water as they swim forward. Two cyclists ride on a winding gravel path through a lush, green landscape by a calm lake. Misty mountains and trees surround them, and a stone wall runs parallel to part of the path. The scene is serene and overcast. A mist-shrouded hill rises above a dense forest of autumn trees with changing leaves, ranging from green to golden yellow. The calm waters of a lake in the foreground reflect parts of the scenery under a cloudy sky.
