Why do people call it a three legged race if there are only two people and two legs are tied together?

There are a total of four legs (two people each with two legs). Since two of the legs are tied together, it restricts mobility as if they had only one leg. Therefore, you have two indepedent legs and one functional tied leg, making it a three-legged race.
