The TRI BUG

• Interesting article by Triathlete Europe on how to turn a road bike into an effective triathlon machine. Perhaps I should give my Profile aerobars a little brother: the Fast Forward seat post!

  Female triathlete of the year? My vote went to Rachel Joyce! Sure, it would have been easy to pick the unbeatable Chrissie Wellington… but Rachel is proving to be a consistent, relentless and amazing athlete: one position better every year in Kona (4th in 2011) and winner of the ITU Long Distance 4 weeks later this year. Quite a progression, and I bet the best is yet to come. Congrats!

  Great mashup with the best of this year’s World Ironman in Kona. I found the soundtrack relaxing and motivating at the same time.
