Triathlon or Biathlon

Which is the right word to use if we are doing a sporting event which involves 3 parts:

1. Biking

2. Running

3. Biking

BUT, only 2 disciplines in total: Biking & Running?

So are doing a Biathlon or Triathlon?

What does the prefix stand for, is it the number of parts or the number of different disciplines involved?
