In response to the beginner triathlete's broad question (we do get some variation of this question almost daily), "What will I need to compete in my first triathlon?", we recommend taking the simplistic view and breaking down the triathlon into the 3 disciplines of swim, bike and run. Under...
Hi all,
I'm taking part in my first Tri in a week's time... Olympic distance.
Despite starting from an extremely low level of fitness I've put in a lot of work and feel reasonably comfortable that I'll be able to haul my sorry ass round the course!
However, I can't help but have...
Hey folks I have a wee dilema that I need some help with, I'm looking to buy some race wheels for my next half ironman, here is the dilema....
Do I go for Zipp 404? or do I go for HED Stinger's??
Your advice and knowledge is greatly appreciated.:shade: :shade:
So this is going to be a long one. I figure it deserves it since it is an Ironman.
Wow. What an experience. This is unlike anything I have ever done in my life. People whine about the cost of the entry fee, but NA sports put on an event worth every penny.
The volunteers were epic! So...
I had so much fun at the Longhorn Tri, my first Olympic distance race! Pre-race I was worried about the weather (what the heck happened to my cold front!?!), the distance (how would that last 3 miles feel), my new Look clipless pedals (how would I ever run into transition on those shoes), and...
I was a beautiful Colorado morning and a great day for racing, or in my case, surviving the day with a smile on my face.
The race: 16th annual EAS Boulder Peak. Olympic distance 1500m swim, 42k bike and 10k run.
Swim 55:48, this is actually faster than I thought I would do by about 5 min. Man...
Hi all, I just wanted to let you know I'm still out here even if I haven't been on the boards as of late. My olympic race is this Sunday and I have a bit of a problem, as of about 2 weeks ago I have been fighting a naging cough. Last night it was so bad that during my coughing, I sort of...
I just wanted to introduce the following race to my fellow TriWeekers...
On November 18, 2007 St Croix will host its 3rd running of the Subaru Classic International Triathlon. Yes, I did say it was a new race so let me explain...
This years event is being held as the Caribbean...
How many of you signed up for the 08 Goofy? The Goofy is running the Half marathon on Sat and the Full Marathon on Sun at Disney World. 39.3 miles in 2 days.
I will be doing my 3rd:)
Fellow adventure enthusiasts,
Hi, my name is Darren from Alabama, I race Xterra Tri's, MTB and the occasional adventure race, and I got tired of searching all over the internet to find good race listings for multiple different sports, so I decided to use my web skills, scour the internet and...
Well, the last race of our season is here. I'll be competing in the International distance race, to be held in South Miami. So far, I have finished 4 sprint races and 1 international distance race. More info can be seen at Welcome to Multirace.com
0.6 mile swim/22 mile bike/6.5 mile run

The Glycemic Index measures how high blood sugar levels rise 30 to 120 minutes after eating a particular food or combination of foods. A study from Loughborough University in England shows that athletes in sports events lasting more than a couple hours may benefit from a pre-competition meal that...
1st, thanks again to my Triweek friends and support group.
I'm chalking this IM up to experience rather than success. In a nutshell…
I got hammered & blinded on the swim and did most of it with my eyes closed because I couldn’t see. My goggles were knocked sideways and the cup entered...
