I post the triathlon news stories that you won't read about in the other main sports news. I'm particularly interested in how the sport is developing across the world.

I'm not a triathlete now, but I was for 20+ years. Raced in the UK, USA, Germany etc.

And i'm here. If you are interested in the type of triathlon news that the main news doesn't cover, that's my thing.

I use a perl script to scrape results from Google News. Read through them daily, post interesting stuff that's not in the mainstream reporting.

ironman, T100, Challenge, duathlon
Morning all. This article isn't so much news as a pretty complete list of all the World Triathlon and PRO races dates for 2026, all levels and winter triathlon, duathlon and mixed relays etc.

Found time to read the Telegraph's Top-50 women in sport. Disappointed but not surprised to find not a single triathlete in it, despite the picture to illustrate it.

This isn't about sport performance, rather influence, I would argue that Chrissie Wellington has had an oversize impact

Getting a total knee replacement was only the start. Hopefully no more surgery ever but note how the right femur developed a bow after decades of running on the lower leg.

The soft tissue, muscle and ligament realignment and stretching will take a long time...

Also triathletes, stop wearing black or dark one piece race suits. There were always a bad idea, except for the swim. Yeah, Jan Frodeno demonstrated when winning the Olympic gold that white isn't good. Solution, you are not Frodeno, you can stop to pee.
We did some temperature testing to see how much impact choosing a black or white jersey, helmet, or bottle has on how hot a cyclist gets. bit.ly/4amci0D

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

“But for us, money is only one component of being able to deliver a great event. It's really around approvals and permits and rights to be able to do things."

Sure Sam, lets do our race series in the middle east where human rights are regularly trampled on.

If you have a lower leg length difference of more than an inch, flat pedals are the only option.

At least of a road bike you can fit a custom block between the shoe and a Look cleat.

Disappointing that the PTO seems to be going all in on sports washing. There was problem to solve - inconsistent and low pro funding for long distances races by Ironman.

Lining their pockets at the cost of women, minorites and free speech was never the answer.

Today marks 3-weeks since my total knee replacement. I'm walking unaided and this morning in PT I did 5-mins on the bike with full circle cycling. To say it's going exceptionally well is an understatement.
Today's update. Total knee replacement day 12. My time is definitely helping with compression tights to help prevent blood clots.

Also, I've been walking around the house unaided without much of a limp since Thursday. Lots more work to do though. Hoping to restart Rouvy membership before christmas

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.

This has been in the press for 2 days.

The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…

And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

What is it with these men? The are really just unloved little boys in their heads, still being nasty to the girls, trying to impress the big boys and generally coming off as assholes.

Watching Gwen Jorgenson come back from another injury and surgery was awesome. She obviously has some way to get fit but still a very admirable 6th in what was effectively a C-race.

The race itself was possibly the weirdest ever. A full sprint race in the Dubai Islands, women only, just 18-starters

I kinda messed this up, I thought the race was last night, it's tonight USA time

The old @worldtriathlon.bsky.social triathlon live tv was so much more useful and easy to import events into the calendar. Also I hate they dropped Roku support/app not everyone wants to watch on a phone or computer
Asides from the sports washing, Gwen back from another injury and surgery. I see her running from time to time as bike around town.

This is a great test return for her, small field. Race starts at 12:50 mountain time in the USA so will be breakfast replay for me.

I've used a LOT of medical booking/records systems over the past year. The worst of which, by a country mile is Qure4u Inc.

I had 20 PT appointments booked through it, so far it was generated more than 60 emails and text messages. What do I want? Just the ability to put those in google calendar
