March 18, 2010 Events, news No Comments

In this first-of-its-kind feature, the Triathlete Magazine editors have carefully selected 100 events that stand out from all the rest. A good triathlon has to cover all the basics: proper aid stations, a clearly marked course, scenic surroundings, friendly volunteers and all those other little details that make the entry fee feel justified.

March 18, 2010 news No Comments

Call it Ironman, iron-distance, Ironman-distance, 140.6-mile distance, call it whatever you’d like. We call it awesome and we don’t care whose logo is on the medal because finishing a race of this distance makes any triathlete worthy of a few beers in our book. By any name, the Hawaii Ironman is the best there is.

10 Hardest Races on Earth

Picking the hardest race on Earth was a little tricky. Of course, a full iron-distance has to be tougher than a 70.3 race, but we wanted our winner to have the toughest, not necessarily the longest, course. With that in mind it was hard to pick anything other than Maryland’s Savageman Triathlon (need to talk

10 Most Anticipated New Races…

Apparently word has gotten out that triathletes like to travel to exotic locations to race. Literally hundreds of new triathlons will take place in 2010 and many will be staged at rather exotic locations. It doesn’t get much more exotic (or rich) than Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates. That’s why the Abu

10 Most Scenic Races

While there was plenty of yelling and screaming among our editorial staff when it came to picking winners in the other categories, we all came to quick agreement on the world’s most scenic race: Ironman 70.3 Pucon, located in south central Chile. Pucon is a rather quaint ski town during the South American winter, courtesy

10 Greenest Races

A decade ago triathlon was certainly not at the forefront of putting on carbon-neutral events. That’s changed considerably over the last 10 years, thanks in large part to people like Barry Siff of 5430 Sports in Boulder, Colo., who has won numerous awards for putting on sustainable, local events. While we give the entire Boulder

Trainer Workouts with a Pro at…

December 8, 2009

I did the Trainer ride with a Pro tonight at Inside Out Sports in Cary.   The store sponsors these workouts (almost) every Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm.  They are free – you just have to bring your own bike and your own trainer.   It was great killer workout, and I plan on doing this every Tuesday evening.  My  new job is five minutes from Inside Out Sports. Tonight’s workout was led by local pro triathlete, Alex McDonald. Since I get off work at 5, and the workout starts at 6:30, I was the first one to arrive for the workout.  Alex is a member of Team Timex, and he had some free schwag for the first one to arrive.  That was me!   How lucky is that.  I got a brand new Timex Sleek 150 lap tap technology watch.  It’s very slim design and I am wearing it right now as I type. I love it so far – very sleek and comfortable! I asked him if he would take my picture so I could tweet about my prize.  (Click any image below to enlarge.) I tweeted: “won timex ironman tap watch cuz i was first to arrive at @alexmmtri spin class” The first thing we did after the warmup was isolated leg drills. That is where you unclip one leg and only spin with the other leg.   We did alot of those, and I hated them.  But that means they were good for me. Alex let me tweet a picture of him.  I twote: “single leg drill at ios with @alexmmtri “. The middle part of the workout were three tempo sets. I love those. I am very good at steady eddie riding.   Then we did some super spins.  Hate, hate, hated those!  But again, if you hate a workout, it means it is good. After the workout, Alex let us all try a Recovery drink called Ultragen made by First Endurance. It was really good tasting. Not too sweet like most similar products. I was very impressed. I tweeted: “free first endurance recovery drink from @alexmmtri yum ” One last picture for you to enjoy: Tweet: “at IOS – look at the P4’s!” …if you found this post inspiring, please help fight Hunger by supporting the Gatorade G Movement!
