The sport of aquathlon consists of a continuous, two-stage race involving swimming followed by running. The International Triathlon Union (ITU) and its member federation organizations sanction competitions and govern the sport. An aquathlon is also called an "aquathon." The ITU and USA Triathlon sanctioning organizations generally use the term aquathlon.
Aquathlons have been around in various forms since the early 20th century in ocean lifeguard competitions. The National Surf Lifesaving Association of America, formed in 1965, held its first national competition that year and the events included a run-swim-run. The modern international standard lifeguard distance is 400 meter run - 400 meter swim - 200 meter run.
Aquathlon in general follows triathlon distances, but there is variability. Mostly open-water but there are some pool-based sprints/super-sprints.
ITU "Warm water" standard distances are 2.5km run, 1000m swim, 2.5km run. If the rated water temperature is below 22°C then it becomes a wetsuit-mandatory 1000m swim and a single 5km run. "Long course" distances are 2000m swim and 10km of running. Where the rated water temperature is low (around 16°C) then the course may be shortened, and possibly cancelled.[1]
Different national federations have their own distances and temperature rules, typically related to the acclimatisation of national athletes. For example the Icelanders will train/race at 10°C whereas the BTF start at 12°C. BTF aquathlons tend to be 750m wetsuit-mandatory/optional and a 5km run.
Aquathlons are most similar to triathlons, with the key difference being the lack of a cycle leg. The bike adds extra complexity for both the athletes and race organisers.
- Bikes must be transported to the venue, which can be logistically onerous for the athletes, especially for international events.
- The race director has to select a course that allows space for the bike leg, possibly including road closures.
- It is a truer measure of athleticism in that the equipment is quite minimal and cheaper than requiring a high-end TT bike.
- They can be run informally in local lakes.
Modern pentathlon is similar to an aquathlon in that both include swimming and running. But swimming and cross-country running are only two of the five events which make up the modern pentathlon, and these are held as distinct, noncontiguous events. Within the penthathlon sport the term biathle is also used for (training) races comprising swimming and running. These however contain distance stemming from pentathlon races, for instance 200m swimming 3 km running.
Another sport derived from triathlon is duathlon, which combines cycling and running but has omitted the swimming part.

Correctly Completing the Date Breastfeeding Began and Ended Fields
The Date Breastfeeding Began and Date Breastfeeding Ended fields in the Health Information screen are both used for breastfeeding duration calculations in reports. It is very important that accurate information is recorded in these fields.
For most infants, the date that breastfeeding was first started is their date of birth. We have been seeing a few records in which the participant's certification date has been entered into the Date Breastfeeding Began field instead of their birth date.
May 2014 HuBERT Hints #1
System is Incorrectly Assigning High Risk to Full-Term Infants Whose Length Falls below Grid and Percentile is N/A (TMP-153)
Description: The system is incorrectly assigning high risk for Risk Factor 121 when it is assigned to full-term infants whose length measurement falls below the lowest line on the Growth Grid resulting in a Length/Age percentile of N/A.
What You Should Do: You can use the Resolve High Risk Designation function in the Assign Certification Risk Factors screen to remove the incorrect system-assigned high risk.
Please note that if the infant is high risk for other risk factors, using the Resolve High Risk Designation function will remove ALL high risk, which may not be appropriate.
Resolution: This issue has also been added to the issues queue.
Identified Issues - Posted 3/18/14
Error Occurs when Starting an Infant's Cert, after Completing Mom's Cert, if Infant's Participant Folder is Open (TMP-142)
Description: When certifying a mom and her infant, if the infant's Participant Folder is open when mom's cert is completed, the following error displays:
This error displays regardless of how the certification is started as long as the infant's Participant Folder is open when mom's cert is completed (i.e. Work with Another Member window at the end of mom's cert or click the Certification icon in infant's folder).
What You Should Do: Click OK on the error and close the infant's Participant Folder. Re-open the folder and click the Certification icon to start the infant's cert (the error will no longer display).
Resolution: This issue has been added to the issues queue.
Identified Issues - Posted 2/26/14
h2>Reason(s) Stopped Field Enabled and Required in Add Infant Information for Non-Breastfeeding Mom IF Infant's Health Information Completed First (TMP-127)
Description: This occurs for the following specific scenario:
- Certifying a non-breastfeeding woman and her infant; and
- The infant's Health Information is completed first
When completing the Add Infant Information screen in the non-breastfeeding woman's Health Information - Infant(s) Born from This Pregnancy, the Reason(s) Stopped field is enabled and required.
What You Should Do: In general, you should complete the mom's Health Information first in order to create a two-way link between mom's and infant's records. However, if for some reason this isn't possible and this issue occurs, simply click the Ever Breastfed - Yes radio button and then the Ever Breastfed - No button and the field will become disabled.Resolution: This issue has been added to the issues queue.
Identified Issues - Posted 2/24/14
Fully-Breasted Infants Less than 6 Months Old Should be Terminated for Failure to Pick-Up when Their Linked Mothers are Terminated (TMP-26)
Description: Fully breastfed infants less than 6 months old do not receive benefits and don't have a last set Last Date to Use to trigger the system to terminate them for Failure to Pick-up. However, in ENH-15, the system now only counts fully breastfed infants if their linked mother receives benefits. For consistency purposes, the infants should also be terminated when their linked mother is terminated for Failure to Pick-up.
What you Should Do: This is a display and consistency issue and should not affect users.Resolution: This issue has been added to the issues queue.
Identified Issues - Posted 2/24/14
Using the Authorized Representative's Relationship Field
If users choose to use the Relationship field, they should select the option that best describes the representative's relationship to a child in the household (born or unborn).
For instance, if in mom's participant folder, "Mother" should be selected for the Authorized Representative's Relationship field since she is the mother of the children in the household. Other examples:
- If mom's sister is an Alternate Representative, select "Aunt" since that is her relationship to the child(ren) in the household.
- If mom is pregnant and her mother is an Alternative Representative, select "Grandmother" since she will be the grandmother of the unborn child.
From the 2.17.07 Release Document
Of the Following Scenarios, Which Ones Requires the Use of the Initial Contact Screen?
- Brand new applicant - YES
- Pregnant woman, currently on WIC, who delivers and requests certification for herself (postpartum) and her new baby – YES for the baby, NO for the woman
- Postpartum woman, not certified for WIC during her pregnancy, who applies for WIC for herself and her new baby – YES for both applicants
2/20/2013 Memo - Processing Standards: Guidance for HuBERT Release 2.17.07
Able to Issue Benefits to Infant Who Already Received Benefits for 6 Month Fully BF Food Package
This is a reminder that you are now able to issue benefits for formula to an infant who used to be fully-breastfeeding and had already received benefits with the 6-month supplemental foods on them.
Example: On 1/5/13, Fully-BF infant received benefits for March 2013 with supplemental foods. On 2/6/13, mom returns requesting supplemental formula (baby is now Mostly-BF); you void the March benefits with Fully-BF supplemental foods on them and update the food package as appropriate.
- When benefits are voided, the system resets the last set's LDTU to the participant's last non-voided LDTU (LastCheckLDTU in the MEMBER table is set back to last non-voided issued set, if only voided benefits exist, the LastCheckLDTU is set to NULL)
- System suggests benefits for February, March and April in the Issue Benefits screen
NOTE! Since benefits for February were never issued or voided, they will not display in the Replace screen. Benefits have to be issued via Issue Benefits.
February 2013 HuBERT Hints #1
Managing a Participant's Record if the Participant Dies
Description: When a participant dies it can be uncomfortable or difficult if staff don't realize it and ask the family about the member.
Explanation: Participants who haven't had any activity on their participant record remain in the Local Agency database for 180 days before being purged to Agency 88. When the household is searched for the participant will continue to display for 6 months. Alerts are helpful but only if the staff asks questions after opening the Participant Folder.
What You Should Do: Change the participant's Household ID so that the participant record no longer displays with the rest of the household. Select Other (explain in notes) from the Reason for ID Change drop-down and document why the participant's household ID was changed.
September 2012 HuBERT Hints #2
Infants Turning One in Next Benefit Issuance - Issuing an Infant vs. Child Food Package
Description: A child's food package will automatically be suggested by the system for the last set of benefits issued to an infant if the following two criteria are met:
- A child's food package exists in the Food Prescription screen with an Effective Date of the infant's first birthday (or between the Printed First Date to Use (PFDTU) and the Last Date to Use)
- The infant's one-year birthday falls between the PFDTU and the LDTU of a set of benefits being issued
Explanation: The system will automatically create a child's food package during the certification process when an infant has a Risk Factor assigned that is applicable to both infants and children. It is up to you, the CPA, to determine whether the child's food package is appropriate to provide at this time. Some examples of when it might not be appropriate include, if the infant:
- Had a low hemoglobin at the Midcert
- Doesn't consume protein or high-iron foods well
- Has special needs
- Just turned 11 months old
What You Should Do: The process for changing a suggested child's food package to an infant's food package, or vice-versa, is relatively simple:
If a CHILD Food Package is suggested and you want to provide an INFANT food package:
- Delete the Child Food Package in the Food Prescription tab
- Issue benefits
If an INFANT Food Package is suggested and you want to provide a CHILD food package:
- Verify the participant has a Risk Factor appropriate for a Child (if not, assign Risk Factor 428)
- Create a Food Package with an Effective Date of the infant's first birthday
- Issue benefits
February 2012 HuBERT Hints #3
How to Delete Incorrect Links between Mom and Infant Records
Description: If a link is incorrectly created between a woman and infant's records, it must be deleted in both of their Health Information screens; it is not enough to delete the link in just one of the records.
What You Should Do: Deleting an incorrect link between a woman's record and an infant's record is a two-step process.
STEP #1: In the woman's Health Information:
- Click the Infant(s) Born from This Pregnancy button
- Click the Edit button
- Remove the checkmark from the Infant on WIC checkbox
- Click OK on the Edit Infant Information screen
- Click the Delete button on the Infants Born from This Pregnancy window
STEP #2: In the infant's Health Information:
- Remove the checkmark from the on WIC checkbox
- Save the change to the Health Information screen
December 2012 HuBERT Hints #2
Tips and Guidance about Linking Mom and Baby
Description: You should always link mom's record to her infant's record when they are both on WIC in the same household.
Explanation: Linking records is essential to ensure that Risk Factors are assigned correctly and the correct default food packages are suggested.
What You Should Do: The following are a couple of tips for creating links between mom and baby's records.
- Baby does not have to be certified to link but must be prescreened (have a WIC ID in the database)
- Links should be created in mom's Infant(s) Born from This Pregnancy screen in order to create a two-way link immediately. Otherwise, if a link is initially created in baby's record, a link will also have to be created in mom's record.
NOTE! Baby'\'s Participant Folder or Health Information screen in the CGS must be closed at the time fields are updated and saved in mom's record. Otherwise, the information will not update in the infant'\'s Health Information.
August 2011 HuBERT Hints #1
Fully-Breastfed Infants Must be 6 Months Old On or Before the Printed First Date to Use to Receive Supplemental Foods
Description: The system will not suggest benefits for fully-breastfeeding infants until the Printed First Date to Use (PFDTU) is greater than the infant's 6-month birthday.
Example #1
- Fully BF Infant
- Cycle = 23rd - 22nd
- Issuance Date = 4/28/2011
System Suggests for Tri-Monthly Issuance:
- Set 1: 5/23/2011-6/22/2011 (May)
- Set 2: 6/23/2011-7/22/2011 (June)
Even though the infant may be older than 6 months on the date the benefits are issued, the PFDTU of the April set is 4/23/2011. Since 4/23 is before 4/27, which is her 6-month birthday, April benefits will not be suggested for this fully-breastfed infant.
Example #2
- Fully BF Infant
- Cycle = 23rd to 22nd
- Issuance Date = 4/18/2011
System Suggests for Tri-Monthly Issuance:
- Set 1: 4/23/2011-5/22/2011
- Set 2: 5/23/2011-6/22/2011
- Set 3: 6/23/2011-7/22/2011
Even though the infant isn't quite 6-months old when the benefits are printed on 4/18 she will be 6-months old by the time the benefits can be used on 4/23/2011. Since the PFDTU of the first set is on 4/23, which is after her 6-month birthday, April benefits will be suggested for this fully-breastfed infant.

I hope everyone is enjoying the last long weekend of the summer (sobbing)!
I just wanted us all to remember that Labour Day has a long and important history, and make a quick reading suggestion for you, based on an interesting fact I dug up somewhere recently:
Between 1880 and 1882, 17,000 labourers were brought from China to build the Canadian
Pacific Railway's passage through the Rockies. 4,000 died during the building of
this section.
For an excellent exploration of Chinese Canadians working on the railways, check out David H.T. Wong's Escape to Gold Mountain.

Hi guys!
Why is Lena Dunham so super cool? Not only is she an actress, screenwriter, director,
nominated 8 times for an Emmy Award, two-time Golden Globe winner, and the first woman
to win a Director's Guild Award for Outstanding Director in a Comedy Series, (thank you,
first paragraph from Wikipedia), but she's also an awesome reader. Check out who's reading

Juust in case you were curious, here is what's going on in my reading life this week:
Hack Attack by Nick Davies
This is the culmination of several years of Sisyphean work by Guardian reporter Nick Davies about illegal
phone hacking by newspapers in the UK, along with an extra helping of police corruption. Recommended,
but it doesn't paint a rosy picture. Don't read this if you're feeling unhappy that day, as you are liable
to either slip into a deep depression or have a heart attack borne out of frustration.
It has a fantastic blurb on the back:
"Davies… makes Captain Ahab and Inspector Javert look like quitters." – Jack Shafer, Slate.
Welcome to Resisterville by Kathleen Rodgers
A brief history of war resisters and other counter-culture figures who found their way to Nelson, BC
in the late 1960s and early 1970s. On a macro level, it examines how
communities ultimately form from disparate groups. On a micro level, it has
some great anecdotes about people who were trying to live a more morally honest life.
How to Read The Bible
A handy, short essay that helps the reader decide on their own approach to reading the Bible. Obviously, this isn't really something that a lot of people are looking for, but we won't worry about them. For people who are interested, it's potentially quite useful. Great beach read. I'm dead serious.
Books are so weird. It's still August (although it's feeling more autumnal here in Vancity),
but for us reps, fall is over! On to winter! That being said, I'm still catching up on my fall reading.
I've been making my way through Who We Be: the Colorization of America, by Jeff Chang.
Who We Be

It's a fascinating history, and I'm especially enjoying the chapters that deal with the
NYC gallery scene, because I'm an art nerd like that.
Hi everyone!
We are well into our Winter 2015 conferences and so far, so great!
At least, that's what I gather from me creeping through my glass office
door at the presentation in the room next to me. It can get lonely in here…
The good news is that although I don't participate in the conference,
I do participate in the food eating, during conference lunches. This is where
the magic really happens…and the tight pants. Not much to report this week
since everyone is ignoring me, ahem, I mean, in conference. So I'll leave
you with a tribute to tight pants. Enjoy!
As crazy as it sounds, we're about to go into conference for the Winter 2015 books!
I've already gotten a start on the picture books, and here are a few of my early favourites:
The Remarkable Tale of a Real Bear

As I mentioned in a post a little while ago, Grumpy Cat visited the Eaton
Centre and I had every intention of going to see her. But then Saturday morning
came and there were all sorts of things to do, like sleep in and eat brunch, and
watch YouTube videos of Jimmy Kimmel/Fallon doing funny things…
Here is a review of how it all went, though. Please feel free to judge me

Rudolph the reindeer is having a glittering antler makeover — the latest attempt to halt some of the thousands of road deaths of the roaming caribou in the wilds of Finland. Anne Ollila, of the Finnish Reindeer Herders Association, said the antlers of 20 reindeer have been painted with various fluorescent dyes to see how the animals react and whether the paints are resistant to the harsh climate. If successful, animals with glittering antlers will be free to roam Lapland — a vast, deserted area in northern Finland where herders tend to about 200,000 reindeer. Ollila says reflectors and reflective tape were unsuccessful because reindeer tore them off — and road signs warning drivers of roaming reindeer often are stolen by tourists as souvenirs.

Elon Musk (born June 28, 1971) is a South African-American engineer, entrepreneur and philanthropist best known for co-founding PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla Motors. He is currently the CEO and CTO of SpaceX, CEO and Product Architect of Tesla Motors and Chairman of SolarCity. According to Jon Favreau, director of the Iron Man movies, Musk is the inspiration for his and Robert Downey Jr.'s interpretation of Tony Stark.
Musk was born and raised in South Africa, the son of a South African engineer and a Canadian mother who worked as a New York City dietitian and model. Musk bought his first computer at age 10 and taught himself how to program; by the age of 12 he sold his first commercial software for about $500, a space game called Blastar.
After matriculating at Pretoria Boys High School he left home in 1988 at the age of 17, without his parents' support and in part because of the prospect of compulsory service in the South African military: "I don't have an issue with serving in the military per se, but serving in the South African army suppressing black people just didn't seem like a really good way to spend time." He wanted to move to the US, saying: "It is where great things are possible."
