Tax Freedom Day. Tax Freedom Day is the first day of the year in which a nation as a whole has theoretically earned enough income to pay its taxes. Every dollar that is officially considered income by the government is counted, and every payment to the government that is officially considered a tax is counted.
The swim section of a sprint triathlon would burn between 85 and 227 calories. In a sprint-distance triathlon, the swim is 750 m, the cycling portion covers 20 km and the run is 5 km. In pool-based triathlons, the swim may be a reduced distance such as 400 or 500 meters.
But if a super-high calorie burn is what you're after, you're going to have to sweat it out. Running at a seven-mile per hour pace for one hour burns nearly 700 calories, while swimming at 50-yards-per-minute burns around 550 calories per hour. RELATED: 30 Reasons to Love Running.
