The 70.3 half Ironman is a triathlon not a marathon. It consist of an 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and an 13.1 mile run.
Any Swim/Bike/Run Race is considered a Triathlon. I believe this is a reference to the Half Ironman Triathlon. This is a 70.3 miles race, consisting of 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile (Half Marathon) run.

Luc Van Lierde went on to clock the fastest Ironman Triathlon ever in 1997, doing 7:50:27 (0:44, 4:28, 2:36, plus transition) in Ironman Europe.
It depends on what the Triathlon is...Sprint Distance is usually a swim of about a half mile (0.47). Olympic or International Distance is a swim of about one mile (0.93). Then there is the half-Ironman (70.3) or Long Distance Triathlon as they are sometimes referred to which has a swim of 1.2 miles. Then the ultimate Triathlon that many work toward which is the full Ironman distance and that has a swim of 2.4 miles.
The Half Ironman Triathlon is a three part race that requires you to swim 1.2 miles, bike ride for 56 miles and run for 13.1 miles. There is a comprehensive training program available at trinewbies.com
It depends on the type of triathlon you are doing. The sprint distance is 20k(12mi) the Olympic distance is 40k(25mi) the Half Ironman is 90k(56mi) and the Ironman is 180k(112mi)
There are three levels of Ironman marks in traditional Ironman triathlons: Ironman, Ironman 70.3, and Ironman 140.6. Each level represents a different distance of the race, with Ironman being the full-distance triathlon, Ironman 70.3 being a half-distance, and Ironman 140.6 being the full-distance branded specifically by Ironman.
The fastest half marathon, according to the official IAAF is 58:23. This was set by Zersenay Tadese in London, Portugal.
