And the same phenomenon explains why bowls is the most deadly sport!!!

 

Also, the most dangerous snake in the world is likely to be the most common, not the most venomous!

 

More toppies chasing medals, higher likelihood of some dying.

 

Better than dying sitting on the couch fat as a pig?

 

who are u calling a toppie. I may be old but I am not over the hill yet.

Don't tri, dua

dua if you want to test your inner toughness, and are not swayed by public opinion

tri if you want people to think you are tough

More men over 40 have heart attacks while having sex than those engaging in triathlons.

Perhaps men over 40 should stop doing that as well?
