Newsflash

A study found that triathletes are twice as likely to experience sudden death during a race than marathoners. Apparently, strain on the heart of those with pre-existing heart conditions can cause heart attacks, especially during the swim. The study suggests that athletes visit a doctor first for a clean bill of health, train adequately & in open water & acclimate to colder water. Wetsuits are highly recommended.
