I post the triathlon news stories that you won't read about in the other main sports news. I'm particularly interested in how the sport is developing across the world.

I'm not a triathlete now, but I was for 20+ years. Raced in the UK, USA, Germany etc.

And i'm here. If you are interested in the type of triathlon news that the main news doesn't cover, that's my thing.

I use a perl script to scrape results from Google News. Read through them daily, post interesting stuff that's not in the mainstream reporting.

ironman, T100, Challenge, duathlon
Boulder blokes... This one is for you. I'll be there...

50-years ago I watched a friend take money to do something he said he would never do. Everyone has their price, money ruins everything.

Fascinating, requires another World Triathlon rebrand. Can they "seamlessly the sport can merge its historically independent circuits into one coherent narrative"

If you enjoy regular and live short course triathlon racing, trithlonlive.tv is your place to go. Generally no geo blocks available via PC/Mobile.

They are putting up annual subscriptions a full $10 starts tomorrow, might be worth taking one out today at $39.99. I tried to renew mine early, no go.

Let the complications begin. It's only once the IOC has released the qualification criteria that national governing bodies can start to plot to make them so complicated that ordinary people don't know how it works.

After my heart attack, I nulled out all my Garmin Personal records, after all there is before times and after. Never the twain shall meet.

How is my recovery from total knee replacement? Pretty happy so far. Have already walked 5k, and 3rd time in the pool in years, hit 10-mins for 400m. 4x 400m
