Hi all,
Found this document on the Rules and Regulations, however I'm not sure it is appropriate for beginners as it is very lengthy.

Hi. I found this website with the Top 10 Health Benefits of Triathlons.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With 1.5 km of swimming, 40 km of biking and 10 km of running, completing a triathlon is no easy task. But if you're a beginner, there are shorter "sprint" distances that can ease you into the sport. Either way, you're sure to become healthy and fit, as triathletes are some of the most well-rounded athletes in the world.

Here are the Top 10 from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic:

Whole-body workout: Triathlons will strengthen all muscle groups in your body. Swimming strengthens your upper body while cycling and running helps you build lower body strength. You will develop lean muscles, build strength and tone your entire body.

An ideal weight-loss program: The combination of swimming, cycling and running - known as cross training - will make you fitter than you've ever been in your life, as well as burning huge amounts of fat from every area of your body.

Enjoy eating healthy and training: Training for this three-sport event will push you to eat a well-balanced diet, as well as fuel your body with things that will give you energy to reach that next milestone.

Improved health: A regular combination of swimming, cycling and running will help you lower your blood pressure, prevent diabetes and obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and even lower the risk of osteoporosis or depression. Triathletes have larger hearts and a heart rate that is 17% below the average heart rate. Consequently, your heart doesn't have to work as hard as the heart of a non-trained individual. These health benefits will automatically add more years to your life.

More energy: A dramatic increase in your exercise and the change in your diet will help to heighten your energy levels and improve productivity. Although some training sessions will be grueling to get through, and you will obviously be tired afterwards, your overall energy levels will be much higher.

Feel 10 years younger: As well as slimming down, your body will be given a new lease on life. No matter how wrinkly or rotund you feel, there is always a way to turn it around with a gently increasing training program that will take you from zero to hero, knocking 10 years off in a matter of months.

Full body strengthening: Each aspect of a triathlon offers its own health benefits, helping to sculpt you into a god or goddess. Swimming creates definition in your upper body and improves flexibility, while running develops long and lean muscles, leaving cycling to tone the lower body while building strength.

Reducing the risk of injury: When you stick to just one sport - running, for example - you continue to stress the same body parts, resulting in common injuries like shin splints. With triathlon training, you are pushing yourself in three different sports, which each focus on different parts of your body, taking the constant stress off of one particular area. So, with a more balanced method of fitness, you can enjoy being injury-free for longer, resulting in less pain and a stronger body.

Mental health: When you begin to improve your health, you also start to improve your perspective on what you can achieve and how far you can push yourself. You will begin to notice an increased level of self-confidence and a difference in the way others perceive you.

Improved confidence: Completing a triathlon is highly impressive, so you will have to try to reign in the bragging and name-dropping in every conversion you partake in. After completing the distance of a triathlon, you should feel good about your achievements!

Triathlon rules.

We can't blame you if you've been putting off studying the densely worded, 25-page official USAT race guidelines. You probably have better things to, like, say, training. Or taking a nap. So we enlisted a few experts to distill the document down to the basics, focusing on the areas where triathlon newbies typically run afoul of the law.

"Triathlon is very complicated to begin with. There's a lot going on," says Ian Murray, founder of the Triathlon Training Series and one of only 16 level-3 triathlon coaches in the country. "And that's before people come to realize there are rules they have to follow where they can get penalized or disqualified."

As you prepare for your first race, keep in mind the guidelines below to reach the finish line without fault.

All Stages

Rule 1: Unplug your iPod. For safety's sake, you can't blast "Born to Run", or any music, during the race. So if you're accustomed to jogging with your tunes on full-blast, get used to the silence. "As a coach, one of my laws of triathlons is nothing new on race day," Murray says. "You have a chance to try everything in training. You might need a workout or two where you don't use the music in order to find the groove and the motivation without it."

Rule 2: Keep it clean. Long story short, keep your garbage to yourself. You'll get docked serious minutes if you're caught tossing any of those gel packs or Power Bar wrappers to the street. The problem: "Lots of triathlon shorts and shirts have a very small pocket," Murray says. The solution: "Take your gel tab or your wrapper and either tuck it underneath the leg or in the pocket of your race suit."

Rule 3: Fly solo. Your family, your friends, and your lady can cheer all they want from the sidelines, but they can't do a thing that might help you gain even a miniscule advantage. "You can't have a family member or a friend or even a stranger hand you something during the event," Murray says. "You can only get race-provided support." And there should be plenty of that: Aid stations are typically well supplied with water and sports drinks like Gatorade.

Rule 4: Keep your own pace. Just in case rule three didn't make it clear enough, your friends can't even shout your time. We know, lighten up, right? They also can't run along with you for a few feet, Rocky-style, to help buoy your spirits. "You have to do it all yourself," Murray says. "Officials cruise around the course looking for these infractions and they can give you a penalty, a 2- or 3-minute infraction, which in a short race can mean the difference between third and twelfth." Don't worry, pick up your own pace by following these 3 Easy Ways to Run Faster.
