We've said it before and we'll say it again: This is a myth for the vast majority of modern cars. The 3,000-mile oil change is the credo of the quick-oil change industry and dealership service departments, designed to regularly get you into the service bay. (Jiffy Lube recently abandoned its advocacy of the 3,000-mile rule, but clings to severe-schedule advice with which Edmunds disagrees. More on this later.)
Blenheim Palace Triathlon. Youâll have to be quick if you want a place as this event sells out fast â and for good reason. The amazing setting and beginner-friendly lake swim combine with two distances â super sprint (400m swim) and sprint (750m) â for a truly memorable first triathlon.
Check the triathlon events page - triathlon event distances vary, and some races offer different distances for experienced and novice triathletes. There are, however, some standard triathlon distances that should help you judge your fitness levels for your first triathlon race (and future triathlons too!). Distances are displayed as swim/bike/run: Super sprint triathlon: 400m/10km/2.5km. Sprint distance triathlon: 750m/20km/5km.
