In triathlon there’s a particular event devoted to veterans, and on this Veteran’s Day here’s to Leon’s.

The Professional Triathlete’s Organization sent a letter to the Wanda Group announcing its readiness for an all-cash purchase of Ironman.

The Passion Paradox is certainly a book that I wish had existed when I made my living racing. I struggled throughout my career to maintain perspective, and I think that a book like this would have helped. Then again, perhaps being two years removed from that life, I’m simply now receptive to the ideas and messages of such a book in a way that I wasn’t back then. When you have perspective, it’s easier to understand its value. When you lack perspective, it’s much harder to realize that it’s gone missing.

With great sadness I learned today that the amazingly gifted photographer and super kind person Michael Rauschendorfer passed away on July 18th after battling cancer.

I am already planning my return to IRONMAN 70.3 racing. But I’d feel more safe if I knew what I was registering up for.

Without Mike Plant it’s doubtful you’d have ever heard of Bob Babbitt, or Mike Reilly or, for what it’s worth, me.

I was honored to learn from Mike Reilly, just prior to publication, that he mentions me in the book. And Dan calls out that mention in his review. But the exact details Mike shares are a bit off, and I wanted to take a moment to correct them. Not because the way in which they are wrong matters to me, but because I believe it matters to the message of Mike’s book.

Flagship brands like Wahoo gain my loyalty through values not on a feature set

With great sadness we learned of the death of Chris Stirling, a passionate triathlete who was especially fond of extreme events and loved the mountains.

The ITU prohibits displays of “propaganda” at its event. It added sexual orientation to the list of prohibited themes.

In 2013 I predicted a down decade for tri (few listened), followed by a bull market starting 2019. We’ll plan our future at the TBI Conference.

Triathlon never had its own trade show anyway. Still doesn’t. Still, the sport needs an annual industry conclave.
