Column by Seeley Gutierrez Democrat correspondent — It's hard to believe Mike Weyant hasn't already been named Gulf Winds' Triathlete of the Year. He's been competing in the sport since the late-1980s and has been a role model, mentor and advisor to countless local athletes. It was high time for him to finally be recognized for his achievements in triathlon, as an athlete and as a volunteer.

Corbin previously had a sponsorship with Scott Bikes. Read about the move on Linsey Corbin’s blog and check out the complete press release below: Trek Bicycle is proud to announce the signing of professional triathlete Linsey Corbin. The top American finisher at the half-Ironman (70.3) world championships will race aboard Trek’s groundbreaking Speed Concept 9.9 over the next three years as she continues to vie for the top step of triathlon’s most prestigious podiums. “Linsey’s consistent results at the top of the sport make her a perfect match for representing Trek, “said Trek Performance Brand Manager Nick Howe. “Her mental toughness and positive attitude combined with her success on the course make it really exciting for us to bring her into the Trek family, and we’re excited for her to represent us aboard the Speed Concept.” Corbin, an Ironman Coeur D’Alene champion, will begin her season on the US half-Ironman distance circuit before taking her signature cowboy-hat style to her first European race at Ironman Austria in July. Her goal events for the year include the Ironman and 70.3 world championships, where she finished third in 2011. “To be a part of the Trek family, riding the fastest bike on the market – it is only going to help my performances,” said Corbin. “The first road bike I bought was a Trek 5600 and I’ve always admired the fastest cyclists in the sport: Julie Dibens and Chris Lieto. Just like my athletic pursuits, Trek is constantly pushing the envelope with innovation and design. I am looking forward to many fast and fun times ahead.” Both Corbin and her custom Trek Speed Concept 9.9 will be attending the “Meet the Pros” night at Trek Bicycles of Tucson. The event will be held on Feb. 10 from 6-9pm.

ITU Sprint Triathlon Oceania…

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:31:59 +0000

Photo: Delly Carr/Triathlon.org With several countries looking to nab points towards Olympic qualification, this weekend’s ITU Sprint Oceania Triathlon features a stacked field. Kris Gemmell will return to top competition on Sunday for the first time since his win at the World Cup event in Auckland in November but his focus is very much on one race in April. The New Zealand triathlete has been in a heavy training mode over the past six weeks at the Wanaka Snow Farm with the rest of the Tri NZ high performance squad as he eyes a top finish at April’s Sydney World Champs series race. A top-eight finish there will guarantee a spot in London but, if he fails to achieve that, it will then come down to the selectors’ discretion. Andrea Hewitt is the only New Zealand triathlete guaranteed a start in London. Before all of that Gemmell, James Elvery, Debbie Tanner, Nicky Samuels and Kate McIlroy will all compete in this weekend’s fifth round of the Contact Tri Series in Kinloch, Taupo. A number of international competitors will also race, including Australian Chris McCormack. The ITU Oceania sprint title and valuable ITU points are up for grabs and Gemmell is keen to be at the head of the pack in the 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run. “I have won the standard distance nationals five times but never won the sprint title at the elite level,” he said. “It is something I like doing and have spent a good part of my career doing this type of race in Europe racing in club competitions and I always enjoy Takapuna each year over a similar distance. “But there is a big contingent of Australians coming over chasing those ITU points so it won’t be easy and the course at Kinloch is a tough one. Racing over this short distance hurts, too. There is no letting up from the gun with a nasty hill on the bike so I’ll be looking to force the issue there. My aim is to place as much pressure on the field as possible on the bike and come off with a bit of a lead and sort ourselves out over the 5km run.” Read more: Nzherald.co.uk
