When you think of healthy fats, you can think of peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut oil.

At half the distances of a full Ironman -- a 1.2-mile (1.9-kilometer) swim, 56-mile (90-kilometer) bike ride and a 13.1-mile (21-kilometer) run -- the Ironman 70.3 series is the fastest growing triathlon series in the world.
Saturday, 2,000 people from around the world took on that challenge in Las Vegas for the Ironman 70.3 Silverman. After a 1.2 mile swim in Lake Mead, racers bike 56 miles to Henderson where they drop their bike and begin the final stretch of the race with a 13.1 mile run.
