Bike riding does not seem like exercise

Well if you coast for half the ride in the biathalon you won't do very
well. I guess the way you ride it wouldn't be all that great a
workout. Kind of like if you spent half of your running time just
standing still.
 
Oh and it's probably a duathalon that you are thinking about.
Biatholons involve x country skiing and shooting.

Watching it happen - why? My brother was a pretty good musician and everyone
that he was involved in from top to bottom are all dead. ALL of them. Here I
am with a life expectancy of something like another 30 years because I
watched them self destruct instead of thinking it would never happen to me.

I'd guess that you're riding beyond your capacity when you're pedaling. You
have to reduce your training efforts until you can continue pedaling over
the entire ride. I'd guess that you ride hard every time you go out. You
probably need to reduce your efforts in most of your rides and expand your
efforts in the rest. 2 very hard rides twice a week interspersed with easy
rides with your heart rate below around 70%. For most people that takes a
lot of self control since you tend to think that you aren't gaining
anything. But you are. You are growing additional blood vessels, you're
developing the pedaling coordination and you're keeping your efforts low
enough so that your body is recovering instead of breaking itself down.

Doesn't work the way you think. Has no effect on the equipment or
performance, but makes it much harder to get to a proper level of

Well, i coast because i am scared of going too fast. I did notice a
guy on a 10 speed with big wheels carrying groceries on the opposite
side of road and he beat me up this long hill. i assume this has to do
with the fact that i have a mountain bike. my coordination is lacking.
im used to long hikes in the mountains which leaves me in good
condition.

My cousin was also a musician in the sixties. Everyone he played for is also
dead. ALL of them. He was a sergeant in the US Army . His job was to play
taps for the dead soldiers. What's the life expectancy of a Vietnam vet?

My brother-in-law lost 50lbs, went in for his induction and told them he was
gay. The army didn't want him.. He, my sister and most of their friends
spent a lot of the 60s and 70s taking lots of drugs, protesting the war and
having lots of sex. They're all alive and kicking.

YMMV

Your brother and sister spent a lot of the 60s and 70s taking drugs and
having lots of sex?

Not with each other, I hope.

Now? Reasonably good. Even back them, the vast majority of soldiers in
Viet Nam weren't combat - they were more likely to be hit by a taxi
that anything resembling a shell or bullet. This is assuming you
weren't referring to your cousin, as those active duty Army musicians
playing taps at funerals would, of course, have been state side, not
in Viet Nam.

I know about body bags, but I fail to see the connection of justifying
taking drugs in the safe, good ol' U.S. of A. on the basis of other
people altogether dying in Viet Nam. Now the soldiers doing drugs for
a variety of reasons in South East Asia, maybe you could make an
argument. Mostly though, it was less dead soldiers and more boredom
and cheap drugs. Same excuse as those drinking formaldehyde-laced
beer...

Sorry, sloppy posting on my part. I didn't mean for you to include the
aerobic portions...
