physorg.com— Warning to weekend warriors: Swim-bike-run triathlons pose at least twice the risk of sudden death as marathons do, the first study of these competitions has found.

haha, I usually do sprints, i just recently started olympic distance ones... every time when the run starts i ask my self why do i put myself in so much pain! my legs are like jello for at least the first 0.5 miles.
I don't even know where to begin in ripping on this article.1. Is it trying to make people fatter by scaring them out of exercising? 2. I've done a few short distance triathlons, and most of the people are runners, who started biking, and then took up swimming just to be able to do triathlons. So swimming is most people's weakest disciplines, which could explain a higher incident rate. 3. This study/article seems biased from the start. I had to laugh when I read... "Anyone that jumps into freezing cold water knows the stress on the heart"... who the hell does that? USAT events allow wetsuits up to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dugg for decimal (the only people that use hex are the numbnut CSS designers, and not even consistently. Whenever I'm modifying a template some client gave me I come across the same color for two different classes, but one's in hex and one's in rbg() decimal. WTF)
Studies show: Being a triathlete will kill you, running will kill you, not exercising will kill you, eating will kill you, not eating will kill you, sugar will give you diabetes, fake sugar will give you cancer... you're pretty much screwed no matter what. So if you enjoy doing triathlons, you might as well stick with it. Better to die in a triathlon than to need a forklift to carry your 500 lb. Cheeto-stained corpse out of the house.
