Is biking hurting my running?

I'm going to start training for a triathlon! :) Obviously I need to purchase a bike first. I don't have the first bit of knowledge about what bike to purchase, though. I know the amount of cash that I'll need to have but that is about all I know! When I was in high school (many moons ago) I...

Can a woman beat a man in swimming?

Just out of curiosity, tell me do you think a woman can beat a man in swimming. I know that men are stronger and that their muscles are more flexed, but is there a possibility that a woman after a serious and long term exercising break the record set by a man? I think that might be possible and that...
