Teri Hatcher to Try a Tri
Along with learning to play guitar and ballroom dance, Teri Hatcher explained that running in a triathlon was on her "bucket list." I am not sure how the guitar or the dancing are coming along, but her "bucket list" will soon be one item shorter, because Teri was tapped by Disney, parent company for her show Desperate Housewives, to lead a team at the upcoming Nautica Malibu Triathlon. The race is scheduled for September 13, and Terri has upped her regular training.
Parents Are Training Kids as Young as Three For Triathlons
On your mark, get set, go! Much has been said about the importance of getting lil ones out of the house and outside to combat obesity, but are tots as young as three ready to take on a triathlon?
As the popularity of triathlons – which usually include a mix of running, biking and swimming – grows among adults, it is gaining even more interest with the younger set.
Tri-Jargon: Brick Workout
A brick workout doesn't mean lugging around bricks while running. It's a term for back-to-back workouts of two different elements of a triathlon, like biking then immediately going for a run.
While there is no one way to do a brick workout, it is better to do the disciplines in the order you would in a race, so your body can acclimate to changing gears for the next physical challenge.
78-Year-Old Nun Trains Daily For Many Triathlons

This 5'7", 115-pound energizer nun told ABC News, "Well, you know, as long as God is giving you your health, there's no reason to stop."

Do a Tri With a Team
If you want to try your hands at a triathlon, but are worried about being able to do the whole thing on your own, then think about getting a team together. Recently Matt Damon completed the running portion of the Escape from Miami Triathlon as a member of a relay team along with his stepfather and family friend. Doing just one portion of the race is ideal because it enables you to get your feet wet (literally speaking if you're the swimmer) in the triathlon world, but takes away the fear of having to do something you're not ready to do or feel comfortable doing (or simply just don't want to do).
Would You Rather Swim, Bike or Run?
Everyone is doing triathlons these days. Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey just did one last weekend. Felicity Huffman did a triathlon last year.
Tri It Like J Lo and Matthew
What do Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey have in common, besides their skintight matching outfits?
Both celebs participated in the Malibu Nautica Triathlon yesterday. The race benefits LA Children's Hospital and it make sense that two new parents would want to help a renowned pediatric hospital.
Jennifer Lopez Is Optimistic About Upcoming Tri
I recently told you about how Jennifer Lopez, coming off of only six months since having twins, is training for a triathlon next month.
Now, Self has crowned her the Most Inspiring Woman of 2008. And for good reason too; she's not trying to win the race but it's become a goal of hers since she was eight months pregnant.
