Olympic Women’s Triathlon picks

As the Olympic Triathlon has proved to be rife with exciting upsets, choosing the winners is an elusive task at best. Nonetheless, Timothy Carlson presents his top 21 choices for the August 4 Olympic Women’s Triathlon.

Henning, Tisseyre win Calgary 70.3

Rasmus Henning’s swim trumped Chris Legh’s cycling and Magali Tisseyre’s swim held off Heather Jackson’s better effort on the bike and run to win Ironman 70.3 Calgary Sunday.

Del Corral, Ellis win Alpe d’Huez Tri

Victor del Corral repeated his 2011 victory by holding off Australian David Dellow by 3:45 and Mary Beth Ellis topped Australian Carrie Lester by 12:13 at the Alpe d’Huez Long Distance Triathlon.

McCormack, Steffen take ITU LD titles

Chris McCormack ran down Eneko Llanos in Vitoria-Gasteiz to take the 2012 ITU Long Distance World Championships. Caroline Steffen added the women's title to her already impressive resume.

Travels with Josh Amberger

This talented Aussie swimmer/cyclist has led some big races but a simply decent 32 minute 10k run has steered him to non-drafting races; a degree in international relations and a wicked sense of humour helps him navigate the globe in style.

What We Have Noticed: Rasmus Henning …

In this edition of What We Have Noticed we look at Rasmus Henning's book Pro Chasing The Dream, the Aquasphere K180 goggles, the K-Edge Garmin mount and a Kris Gemmell Olympic training day video.

A 2012 KPR update

After Sunday's 70.3 Calgary event most of the Pro field in Kona will be set. But not much should really change from now until then and we looked at the 65 athletes who should currently be in.

Cam Dye is on the rise

Cameron Dye, a rare triathlon pro who was born and raised in Boulder, has proven he can win big non drafting races with a world-class swim and bike. He reminds experts of the great Craig Walton - and might have a future in ITU if he can improve his run.

At the Wind Tunnel with T.O.

We had the opportunity to watch a bike fit session with former US and World Champion Timothy O'Donnell, at the low speed wind tunnel in San Diego.

David Thompson Speaks

David Kennedy Thompson, or DKT, is a long-time American professional triathlete. With a humble and calm demeanor, his persona flies under the radar - that is, until you watch him race.
