Okay I am confused.  I just gave up smoking for my health a month ago,  but now I should give up S/B/R because THATS killing me.  Thank god I read this because i was about to go for a run,  but I think I will just go buy some cigarettes instead.....THANKS for the warning.

You're all missing the most important point here!

Now we can not only boast about being triathletes...  We can boast about being Xtreme DEATH-DEFYING triathletes!

This only helps us.  Tongue out

This story is on the Fox News main page under the headline:

Did you know that recreational fly fishermen are 10x more likely to drown than lifeguards?  I guess that makes fly fishing a dangerous activity.

What about the number of heart attacks on the golf course?  Those occur at about 20x the rate of the general population.

The two most common locations for death are home and hospital.  Stay away from those death traps!

OH NO!  I DRIVE past a GOLF COURSE on my way to work at the HOSPITAL.

I'm doomed.  Maybe I'll just sit my butt on the couch eating potato chips and drinking beer to see how far that gets me.

The AP article was on the front page of Yahoo just now:  "A race with twice the heart risk as a marathon".  Ugh.

That article makes it sound like triathlons belong in the same conversation as sky diving without a parachute.

Of course, the headlines are scare mongering...
Hopefully, these stories aren't used against you by your family or friends...

It is irrational.
I mean.... tens of thousands of people die in auto related accidents yearly, but you don't hear everybody saying they'll stop driving.
