The results indicate that US life expectancy drops by 2 years when people sit for more than 3 hours a day, and another 1.4 years for watching TV more than 2 hours a day.
A half distance triathlon, also known as âmiddle distanceâ and sometimes referred to as a 70.3 (named for the total number of miles travelled) covers, as the name suggests, half the distance of the Iron-man. The required distances are a 1.93 km (1.2 miles) swim, a 90 km (56 miles) cycle and 21.9 km (13.1 mile) run.he Olympic distance triathlon, also known as âinternational distanceâ requires a 1.5 km (0.93 mile) swim, a 40 km (24.8 mile) cycle and a 10 km (6.2 mile) run.
A triathlon race, however, are not limited to just the above distance. There are many variation and a more popular distance is known as the Olympic distance which usually consist of a 1.5km swim, 40km bike and a 10km run.ou can again, argue that a photo finish on the bike will be even tighter-but you will have to tie it back to reason 1: Safety. So in the world of triathlon and after seeking the learned spirit of triathlonism, I now conclude why the sports are at such order (of sports) and why I am racing it.
