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.

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...

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

They not only don't provide a calendar feed or export ability, but inside their web app they even block copy text.
The only way to copy the text so you can create a calendar entry. It's everything wrong with American Healthcare, 100% patient turnover, no patient focus

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

Who knows, it's 10:46am here in the Colorado flatiron foot hills, we are still in bed listening to a 96 track jazz-ish CD box set, drinking fresh ground brewed black coffee with an occasional sorte to the kitchen to heat up more Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls.
Now up, Nina Simone. It doesn't get better

I got the report back on my recently removed right knee. It's worth remembering this was originally declined as medically unnecessary by United Healthcare. I have none bone spurs some almost 4-inches 10cm in size - wholly fack.
At least I think that's what this says

I wasn't sure what to make of the juxtaposition of these two items in today's news sort list.
Weirdly, both appear to be phishing websites, and since I reported them, have been blocked.

Car crash involes Ironman Arizona competitors in bike segment is something that should never happen.
Police said it "had minimal impact on the race" isn't what you want to hear. How about how the cyclist is?

Countdown started. Surgery date Nov. 19th. It's been 21 years since I was told I needed a knee replacement. In that time I did 6x full dist. triathlons inc. 3x ironman races and a dozen half dist. races, 50+ short course
After a motorcycle accident in 1978 I was told I'd never run again. Bah Humbug

I won't even cycle on the roads here unless I have to.
12+ years ago I led the bike shop rides for one of the top rated shop-rides in the USA, we were in Bicycle Magazine 3x and often had over 100 riders. It's nuts now on roads.

I'm a longtime critic of Ironman and it was heartbreaking to watch Taylor Knibb sitting in the road in such distress yesterday. I get Kona is hard, that doesn't excuse ironman from providing prompt medical attention.
At least Reece was there to help pull Lucy Charles Barclay.

This is Israel's problem, you can't rebrand out of the deaths or injury of 50,000 children, or 2.1 million women and girls in need of aid or in the 179,750 injured. Cosmetics won't fix them.
