Triathlon video/DVD info? - Triathlon Week

08-23-2004, 07:09 PM

I recall seeing ads in the tri magazines a couple of years ago for a tri
video and DVD... a sort of history of the sport, featuring the top
athletes, and with interviews and stuff from the athlete's point of
view. I can't remember the name of it, but does anyone else?

My real question is: is this a good DVD? I have lots of homemade tapes
of the tris that they broadcast on tv from the past few years, but aside
from seeing a race start to finish, I'd like something different about
the sport. I'd like to see more chats with Lori, Peter, Lisa, and
others.

Any other recommendations? Not necessarily training videos, but rather
documentaries or something ABOUT the sport and the athletes.

Thanks.... just got back from an excellent swim.... this may sound like
nothing to some of you, but I did 35 min. straight in the pool today,
first time this year (I exceeded that last year in training), and it
felt effortless. Really hit the zone - and early on, too. It usually
takes me several laps to fall into the groove.

S'all for now. Thanks again.

Its not bad but not a history at all but a focus on a few and their quest
for I believe the olympic team. It has some aarguments against drafting and
the like
