Well, I've done my share of healthy things (though you'd never know it to look at me) but I've steered clear of triathlons simply because of the descriptions I've had from friends who do them about what a horrible experience the swim portion can be if it is at all crowded.
Said one: Imagine trying to swim from Alcatraz to the shore. Now imagine doing it with someone kicking you in the face for most of it.
