I post the triathlon news stories that you won't read about in the other main sports news. I'm particularly interested in how the sport is developing across the world.
I'm not a triathlete now, but I was for 20+ years. Raced in the UK, USA, Germany etc.

Here is a whole thread about cycling which goes back to the early 1800's - it took off more quickly than I imagined and I'd be happy to add more to the thread if people are interested.

I'm going to mirror a thread I posted on twitter in May 2022, it got very little traction but I think the history of cycling goes back much further than most people realize and it's also fascinating reading. All the cuttings shown in the thread are genuine.

US vetoes most Ethiopian athletes for the World Crosscountry Championships in Florida by denying their visas. Ethiopia will be unable to record a team result in either the U20 men’s or U20 women’s races, ending its 44-year medal streak.

Well todays the day. I'm heading back to the pool this afternoon to try and get fit after my total knee replacement in November. I'm 40lbs over my old race weight and expect today to be a tough lesson.
I wore this t-shirt to remind me I once knew what I was doing and how.
