The Pro Triathlete Twitter 55
We perused the various Pro triathlete Twitter accounts and compiled a list of 55 male and female followed Pro athletes to give you a chance to follow some of them. We organized them by follower numbers to reach some finite numbers. Some of these names fairly high up may come as a surprise, but most of them make a lot of sense. Many folks high up are fairly heavy twitter users, but attracting followers is not just based on quantity and quality of tweets. Fame is not only a bitch, but it also helps to get followers. This is of course is a snapshot in time, and these numbers constantly change. Now where would you rank among the Pros?
