World Triathlon Corporation Announces Professional Athlete Program

Do you folks race to push your limits? Now, I can't imagine how many endurance triathlete's race for fitness (it's probably better to do shorter distances). But for all those who race to push their limits, ironman's seem great. But, AFTER AN IRONMAN, what next? Since we race to push our limits, it would seem logical to go onto harder challenges after the ironman.

I just finished reading the book Brian Boyle just published called "Iron Heart" - wow! it is definitely one of the top triathlon books that ive read and i was just curious to see what other triathletes think?

Year after year more and more people really want to make it to the Hawaiian Ironman in Kona, the granddaddy of all Ironmans, the Ironman World Championships. Competition is fierce to secure one of the 1800 coveted spots to the Big Island and the qualification times seem to get faster and faster.

I have completed one Ironman, and would love to do another one in a year or two....the major difference being I want to do the next one in 10 Hrs or less. Any Sub 10Hr people out there have any secrets they would like to share? All of my workout results, and personal stats are being posted on a sort of web journal http://www.trainforten.vex-d.com

Press Release: Australia's Craig Alexander and Great Britain's Chrissie Wellington defended their titles today at the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Going to be awesome! http://ow.ly/tJov

o.k. let's throw down some predictions on Sunday's race. Who do you think will win, or have a career performance? Here's my top three... Men: Crowie Lieto Macca Women: Wellington Carfrae Corbin

2009: It is tough to imagine a more highly anticipated Hawaii Ironman World Championships than this year, although we seem to say that each year!
