Your Next Race is looking for triathletes of all abilities to share their endurance training and racing experiences with our online community as YNR Reporters. Currently we are looking for two YNR Reporters for each IM race for the 2007 season

What is Your Next Race?
You are training for a big race. You want to know how to train for it, where to stay on race day, and what weather to expect. But getting that information can be difficult. Our goal is to provide the inside scoop on races, with actual race reports and information from those best able to give it – the participants themselves. Find out all the information the race organizers don’t tell you: what's the water clarity, current and wave direction on the swim, the elevation, road conditions and technical elements on the bike, hard parts of the run, or how to handle aid stations and what they offer. Our mission at Your Next Race is to build an age grouper-focused set of online resources with racing and training strategies from the real-world perspectives of first-timers, intermediate folks and elite athletes.

Reporter Requirements:

• You must be entered to race an official IM race in 2007.
• You will document your training by writing in an online blog that will be posted on the YNR site, once a week.
• You will use your digital camera liberally to document your training and race weekend.
• You will document where you stayed, where you ate, etc.
• You will provide a race report to sum up your big day.

Reporter Benefits:
In exchange for sharing your triumphs and pitfalls on the road to the finish line, we’ll list you on Your Next Race as a contributor and give you $100 towards race weekend expenses.
