I've been reading a lot about this race to prepare for it, including this race report from Ray Maker, this course preview from two-time winner Eric Lagerstrom, and this race review by Kelly O’Mara, and suffice to say, I'm more than a little anxious about...

This year's rules formalize the 20-meter bike draft rules for pros, which they announced last month, and clarify how they will work when age groupers interact with pros. They also lessen the penalty for having an unzipped trisuit from disqualification to a...

I entered the random drawing for a race entry for next year's Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon on a whim, and to my surprise, got a slot in the first drawing. It's a bucket list race, which involves jumping from a ship near Alcatraz Island into the icy cold ...
