While 3 deaths in the last two weeks during triathlon events may have scared you from ever participating in an endurance event, we can prevent such tragedies from happening by visiting our family doctors regularly, finding ways to get rid of stress, eating healthy, and exercising frequently to keep our body in sync.

I, as an amateur triathlete, am a bit of shaken up after knowing these deaths, especially the one that happened in my NYC Triathlon. However, choosing to compete in triathlons is my way to appreciate life; I can swim, bike, and run with my own power. Also, I always look for way to challenge myself physically and mentally, within a reasonable limitations.

I hope the articles that I have shared with you above serve as a guide to train and compete smartly. Good luck, the Sweaty Guinea Pig will keep you informed.
