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.
Triathlons are growing massively in popularity and as such there are now a multitude of different distance events to choose from, however the main categories are as follows: Super Sprint => Swim 400m / Bike 10km / Run 2.5km. Sprint => Swim 750m / Bike 20km / Run 5km. Olympic Distance => Swim 1500m / Bike 40km / Run 10km. Middle Distance (Half Ironman or 70.3) => Swim 1.2miles / Bike 56miles / Run 13.1miles.
