In light of the company I kept with some “celebrities” and my and others’ worries about the Nantucket race, here’s some interesting stats:
The odds of….
Dying from a shark attack 1 in 300,000,000
Dying being struck by lightening 1 in 576,000
Dying from drowning 1 in 79,065
Dying slipping in bath or shower 1 in 2,232
Lesson: Your fears are unfounded! (and the swimming training should actually help your odds against drowning – just be careful when you come home and shower)
Winning an Olympic medal 1 in 662,000
Becoming a US Senator or Representative 1 in 90,000
Becoming a triathlete in the US 1 in 258
Lesson: Try a Tri – it’s easier than other achievements!
