Winning 70.3 Panama allowed Canadian Pro Angela Naeth to start the 2012 season with a bang. Naeth then went straight to the wind tunnel with Pearl Izumi and now is getting ready for the Abu Dhabi Triathlon.

At the recent Team Timex camp in NY, Erin Kummer was inducted into the Timex Multisport Hall of Fame, but the outgoing Boulder, CO resident has quite a bit more going on for herself.
Pete Jacobs held off a hard charging Mitchell Robbins to win the TriHusky II Long Course event. Rebecca Hoschke ran down Laura Siddall to take the women’s title.
Pearl Izumi brought triathletes Cam Dye, Tim DeBoom, Jesse Thomas, Angela Naeth, Flora Duffy and Caitlin Snow to the wind tunnel for camp Aero Project.
We came across the magnetic T1Pro race belt, Lightweight aero wheels, GU Peanut Butter gel, sneakers with wings, unique door handles and a cute Valentine’s Day spot – and product.
We recently spent a day at Hincapie Sportswear with the Devo team in town for training camp and several Pro triathletes joining them for a few days.
Kiwi Bevan Docherty ran down Lance Armstrong with a lot of grit to take Ironman 70.3 Panama in 3:50:13. Canadian Angela Naeth recorded the fastest bike split in the women’s race and pulled away during the run for the win.
We had a chance to sat down with George Hincapie to talk about triathlon, the Hincapie Sportswear partnership with several Pro triathletes and his thoughts on Lance Armstrong’s chance in Panama.
Chrissie Wellington stepped up to a new challenge in NYC and competed in the Empire State Building Run-up. The 4-time Ironman World Champion earned a podium spot and finished well overall.
We noticed forum member Dave Toshio because of a thread he started about his DIY Shimano Ultegra Di-2 TT setup and he is this week’s random age grouper. But there is a lot more to know about this man.
Aussie Pro triathlete Leon Griffin had disappeared from the racing scene for a while to nurse injuries, get married and work as a financial markets dealer. But now he is back with good health and enthusiasm.
For your pleasure we bring you a High5 energy gel, Hincapie base layer, Sun Bum sun screen, the wedding of Stuart Hayes and Michelle Dillon and a bamboo android phone.
Aussie Brad Kahlefeldt is headed towards another Olympic experience this summer, but he knows that there is still a lot of work to do before stepping onto the pontoon in London. Good thing is – he is still having fun.
