Would like to hear a joke?

Question: Would like to hear a joke?
A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work.
One wet and lusty day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband’s car pull into the driveway.
“Oh my – Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband’s home early!”
“I can’t jump out the window ~ It’s raining out there!”
“If my husband catches us in here, he’ll kill us both!” she replied. He’s got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!”

So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window!
As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town’s annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in as best he could.
After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
“Do you always run in the nude?” one asked.
“Oh yes!” he replied, gasping for air. “It feels so wonderfully free!”
Another runner moved along side him.
“Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?” “Oh , yes” our friend answered breathlessly. “That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried,
” Do you always wear a condom when you run? ”

“Nope…….. . just when it’s raining”.

How would I go about training for a triathlon?

Question: How would I go about training for a triathlon?
I’m not really doing the triathlon but my friends mom is and she is really getting fit and I wanna know what I could do.

Answer:

Answer by DosCentavos
You need to read up on it somewhat. Triathlon is a thinking athletes sport. Train with your mom’s friend if possible — it’s a lonely road and company with encouragement is always welcome!

Your friend is getting fit because she’s training in 3 sports on alternating days and it is exercising every single muscle group in her body.

Here are some quick tips, if there is such a thing in this sport:

1) Learn/relearn how to swim. Look up the book Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin.
2) Cycle — lots of cycling and learn proper pedaling form.
3) Running — learn to run with ease (relative) and injury free. Grab the book Chi Running by Danny Dreyer.

Get a heart rate monitor.

And if you’re going to train like a triathlete, then essentially you ARE a triathlete. Part of being a triathlete is joining races to test how well your fitness is coming along.

Triathlon is about efficiency and energy management. You want to avoid floating, coasting and walking and maintain a pace for the entire race. In swimming you should be able to swim non-stop for at least 20 minutes for an easy sprint distance swim. You should be able to bike for at least 1 hour for an easy 13 mile bike, and you should be able to run non-stop for at least 40 minutes to ensure you’ll be able to run the entire 3.1 afterwards.
