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.

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.
Training for the Haf Ironman or 70.3 distance. The half Iron triathlon is typically 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and a 13.1 mile half marathon. Add those numbers and you get 70.3. This distance has become very popular over the last few years. It is a perfect stepping stone for triathletes that hope to one day compete in a full distance Ironman.
