Breakthrough Third Session

SQLMediumMid level~15 min

Problem

Table: `workout`

| Column Name | Type |
|---|---|
| athlete_id | int |
| distance_km | decimal(5,2) |
| logged_at | datetime |

There is no single-column primary key; `(athlete_id, logged_at)` is unique. Each row is a logged workout for an athlete.

For every athlete, look at their third workout in chronological order. Return that workout only if its `distance_km` is strictly greater than both the athlete's first and second workouts. Output `athlete_id`, the third workout's distance as `breakthrough_distance`, and its timestamp as `breakthrough_at`, ordered by `athlete_id`.
