Why is the Swim the Most Deadly Leg of the Triathlon?
13th August 2011
I’m sure you’re all wondering that.
As the WSJ reports today, one 64-year-old male participant suffered a heart attack during the swim and was later pronounced dead at a hospital, while a 40-year-old female spotted floating face-down was taken to the hospital and died early Monday.
Think of it as evolution in action.

The swim is the deadliest leg of the triathalon because if you get tired on the other two legs, you can stop and rest; hard to do when surrounded by deep water.
Duh.
