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 Hardest Races on Earth
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 Anticipated New 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 Most Scenic 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

10 Greenest Races
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

10 Best Excuses For a Vacation
For some athletes, no matter the destination, roads simply won’t cut it. When it comes to taking tris to the trails, the XTERRA Series runs the show, and you can find an XTERRA race just about anywhere there’s a trail. 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

5 Races with the Best…
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!

I’ve been looking at Triathlon Training in general, but for all you that are in your offseason I came across some articles and Videos that may help you out, Thanks to Krista who blogged about it, so I decided to throw up a quick post, …
I had a really bad day today. Four bad things happened. I must be in a state of Nirvana because none of these things are bothering me. Mentally, I feel very relaxed and at ease. Had a bad run. I enjoyed the run. I felt like I was running well with fast feet while still going easy and holding back . But every time I looked at my Garmin it was showing a pace of greater than 10min/mile. I wondered if the heavy cloud cover affected the accuracy of the GPS. When I got home, I plotted the course out on my BT account, and it showed the same distance and pace. Crud. Not worried, tho. My fast feet are just waiting for race day. In my rush to get out the door for my run, I grabbed any old pair of socks. Stupid move! When I got home, I had a very bloody blister on my left heel. I put some Aquaphor and a band-aid on it. Feels okay. I am not the least bit worried about it. It will heal up in time. When I got home from running, I noticed my teenage daughter’s car was not in the driveway. Yet, I remember her coming in the door late at night. That was weird. I knocked on her door and asked “where is the blue car?” She broke down in tears and said she crashed it into a guardrail after hydroplaning on the wet roads. Thankfully, nobody got hurt. The car has a nice big dent in the side and needs a new tire. Could have been ALOT worse. This is not stressing me out either. I’ve been having shooting sciatica pains all day. Not worried about that either. I always get new weird pains during my taper. I think it’s my body just healing stuff that I didn’t even know was hurting me. That’s what I’m telling myself. I am very thankful to be in such a positive mood despite all these stressors. It sure beats crying because it’s a sunny day ! My plan for the week is to do lots and lots of Rodney Yee’s “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes” DVD. I did that every day leading up to Duke 1/2. Flexibility = Free speed. I’ll take it. While driving home from picking up the blue car, I was listening to the radio. The DJ was talking about the band, Nirvana. He said that Kurt Cobain was inspired to write the song “ Smells Like Teen Spirit ” when a rival painted graffiti on the wall: “Kurt smells like Teen Spirit”. Teen Spirit being the deodorant made for teenage girls. I always wondered what that lyric meant. Love that song… Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana – New Music – More Music Videos Check it out : Amazon.com …Workouts in a Binder : Swim Workouts for Triathletes …if you found this post inspiring, buy me a coffee!
