This was a tough category to pick a winner. Urban races are logistical nightmares. Dropping a triathlon in the middle of a big city creates plenty of problems and we have yet to hear of an event that’s done it perfectly. We decided to pick a winner that best handles the chaos of metropolitan triathlon

10 Best Urban Races
Some places are so spectacular that the location ultimately becomes more memorable than the race no matter how well you did. No place is this more true than at the Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship, previously known as the Laguna Phuket Triathlon. Phuket, Thailand, sets the stage for one of the most tranquil tris on Earth

There are some breathtaking courses around the world, but nothing compares to the XTERRA European

5 Best Off-Road Races
Sometimes you want your family to see you race. Sometimes your family wants to see you race. Whatever the circumstances, being a tri spectator isn’t as easy as watching arena football, Ultimate Fighting, or anything else that involves more contact and takes less time. So you owe it to your support crew to choose races
For serious tri addicts some masochist long ago created the tri festival. A tri fest offers participants the opportunity to race one more event throughout a weekend. It’s also a great way to travel with a family or group of people each racing a different event. We feel any weekend-long celebration of tri is great,

5 Best Triathlon Festivals
We believe the availability of good beer, decent food and a party atmosphere post-race are crucial when evaluating the greatness of an event. Some races choose to ignore these three things, and so we choose to ignore these races. When it comes to food, Timberman 70.3 in New Hampshire and Lobsterman in Maine are at

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!
