Have you ever participated in a triathlon?

What’s the breakdown of a triathlon again? You run X miles, swim X mile(s), and bike for X miles…

Anyway, have you ever been in one before? What was it like? My friend just entered a local triathlon and came in 3rd in her bracket. I’m happy for her!

How long in advance would you have to prepare for one? Share with me your story, if you have one. Thanks in advance!

I've started training for a cross country race in November which consists of 11 miles, is Isotonic for me?

I run approx. 2 – 3 miles every day or so and have only started. I hear the arguments for staying hydrated and to replace lost salts/vitamins etc… but then I hear the argument that I’m not an elite athlete and I’d just be wasting my money for something that I don’t need.

Can anyone add their personal expertise/knowledge on this please?

Thanks in advance.

What is the American Red Cross lifeguard training program like?

I live in Minnesota, Twin Cities, and I was wondering how difficult the program is? How long does this training take and is this training accepted out of state(California or Florida)?I am seventeen years old and I want to get a job that will allow me to help people and at the same time be proud of what I do. I swim all the time in the summer months and I feel I am good at it. Do you have to be an amazing swimmer to be a lifeguard? You don’t have to answer all of the questions and thanks in advance.
