Logo Design Brief

I'm looking to create a brand called "17 Hours". In the Triathlon community specifically 17 hours refers to the time that athletes have to complete the ultra distance "Ironman" triathlon of 226km. This involves swimming 3.8km, Bike 180km and run 42km (marathon) to become an "ironman". As such I believe it could be a recognisable brand.
The ironman is one of the most gruelling one day sporting events in the world and many athletes prepare for years before attempting one. The "Hawaii Ironman" is the pinnacle of the sport and the World Championships of Ironman. I would be looking this logo on shirts, cycling gear etc... so would also like to see it incorporate a stylised picture of a swimmer, cyclist and runner. A simple google search will show you dozens of such logos in seconds. I would also like to maybe have the distances beside each logo (swim 3.8K / Bike 180K /42K)
If you contact me on waynemet@hotmail.com I will send you some swim/bike/run type graphics I like.
Perhaps the 17Hours could be larger with the stylised swim/bike/run either beside or below.

Hi there seems some confusion with some designs as to the order of the swim bike run . Swim is always first, followed by the bike(180km) and run (42k) in the IM at least. Its not a mountain bike so a bike doing a wheelie or looking like a mountain bike is not acceptable in triathlon when using logos of swimmer/cyclist and runner. I do like the logos on the towel which I designed but it was just a concept and not something I am working on marketing. I love the sunset and silhouette of the runner picture on the towel as I am going to be pitching my logo and associated products to endurance athletes.  The significance if doing the long distance races is that many of the athletes (myself included) do not finish by sunset . The Ironman Race goes all day and until midnight usually so most of us are still doing the marathon for hours while the sun sets. Thanks

I have just added 2 x .eps files of swimmer, biker, runner that I paid for rights too so they can be incorporated in logo. Not sure if they can be viewed or not as they don't show on brief. email me and I will send them otherwise .

Thanks

Even though I'm  targeting the "ironman" athletes, I cannot use the "Ironman" name or the Ironman M-Dot logo these are copy write trademarks or pending.
