Biscay revises, extends comments

Hillary Biscay made a bit of news last week with her blog comments. She broke the story, unintentionally, that she, Chrissie Wellington, and Belinda Granger are leaving Team TBB. We asked her to amplify on her comments.

Joe Gambles – coming to the USA

2008 has been a coming out party of sorts for 26 year-old Australian, Joe Gambles. Slowtwitch sat down with Gambles to see if he has what it takes to climb onto the podium at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Clearwater next weekend.

Party on Benjamin Sanson

Benjamin Sanson is one of the most respected swimmers in the Professional triathlon world, but the enigmatic French triathlete is also know to have a great fondness for fine wine, parties and women.

Wolfgang Dittrich – the rabbit

In the late 80's and early 90's, Wolfgang Dittrich made his living as the ferocious rabbit Mark Allen and Dave Scott were forced to chase down in the marathon portion of Ironman Hawaii each year. Slowtwitch sat down with Wolfgang at a Boulder bagel shop.

Introducing Clemens Coenen

Clemens Coenen from Germany was the top age grouper at the 2008 Ford Ironman World Championships in Kona with a fantastic performance. But he impressed many folks even more by slowing down at the end to let the female overall champion Chrissie Wellington enjoy the lime light.

The world according to Marky V

Neo Pro Mark Van Akkeren currently resides in Boulder, CO among many of the triathlon elite. He is an amazingly fast cyclist, an even faster swimmer and quite possibly the fastest talking man in triathlon. Word now has it that he is bringing his running up to speed.
