Two books represent the Slowtwitch “boxed set” for ascenders. It’s doubtful either of these books’ publishers or authors (one is dead) know of the other’s book. But to this site’s publisher each book is the others’ companion.

In this gallery we introduce you to the “best friends” of various Pro triathletes.
3-time XTERRA World Champion Conrad Stoltz recently completed his “swimming pool in the backyard” project.
This coming weekend Tucson, Arizona will be the place to be as the 2nd annual TRIFEST will be happening then. A triathlon expo, group rides and runs, a raffle, clinics and several pros highlight the 3 day extravaganza.
In identical polls taken last week, and five months ago when the bottom fell out of the economy in vivid fashion, Slowtwitchers recorded the effect on their personal finances.
It is the time of the year when some folks turn into poets and Timothy Carlson is giving us all the gift of his Christmas triathlon poem.
Our new series “the slowtwitch list” will introduce you to unique multi sport events from around the world. We start this series with a closer look at the Inferno Triathlon in Switzerland.
Triathletes like water bottles. Some of us, myself included, love them. But with all the concern about BPA, are we putting ourselves at risk. With MasterCard in hand, I set out upon the trusty internets to see if I needed to buy something else in the name of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, er, BPA-freeness.
Jenny Gowans won the 2008 Norseman Extreme Triathlon and was kind enough to send us her race report. She was looking for an adventure and a race she would need to treat with more respect than a conventional Ironman.
We don’t have Brett Favre and Tiki Barber to play on our fantasy football teams anymore. But we do have Christophe Moreau and George Hincapie. Announcing the first, or at least the best, and certainly the biggest, fantasy TdF pool.
To escape the wet and cold Northern European spring, many European athletes head to the island of Mallorca to get ready for the upcoming season. German pro triathlete Uwe Widmann recently came back from such a training camp and he reports for Slowtwitch.
It’s the new Nice, the new Mallorca, the new Boulder. Agoura Hills, America’s other endurance sport capital. Who knew?
Since the average visitor to Disneyworld is apparently not willing to shape up, rumor has it that one popular ride has to.
