IronmanLIVE.com Suffers Major Outage on Race Day

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:10:44 -0600

The World Triathlon Corporation's website for Live Coverage of this past weekend's Ironman races suffered a major outage that left remote spectators tracking their loved ones or friends in the dark. IronmanLIVE.com was scheduled to have simultaneous live race coverage from Ironman Louisville and Ironman Canada. Remote / Online spectators would be able to see live updates, have access to the athlete tracker and at times see live video coverage.

UPDATE:
Both sites were the target of a cyberattack designed to deny users access to the website, which made it difficult for fans to follow the progress of participants at Ford Ironman Louisville and Subaru Ironman Canada. Ironman.com Faced Cyberattack

The website received a much needed upgraded / facelift earlier this year. The live race coverage went from a small fixed size window to a full-fledged website which provided additional space for race coverage, advertising and an upgraded video delivery method. All was working well in the morning for the start of Ironman Louisville with coverage from Greg Welch and Chris McDonald. During the live coverage, they showed some pre-race video coverage from Lisa Bentley who was up in Penticton, Canada covering Ironman Canada. It appeared that the main video coverage was going to focus on Louisville, since the note below the Ironman Canada video said that video coverage would begin at 11 am local race time. All was going well during the initial hours of the live race coverage. Some 6 hours into the Ironman Canada race video coverage was showing some TV show from a Canadian TV station. Race updates still showed. At some point in the late afternoon the site became unreliable and slow. People were unable to access IronmanLIVE.com or Ironman.com The stream of twitter messages started flowing, wondering if there was an issue and reporting their disgust. People around the world became frustrated not being able to track an athlete. RaceHQ reported that the site was reporting a denial-of-service attack, but we have been unable to verify that.

Triathletes registered for the Sold Out Ironman Cozumel race set to take place November 28, 2010 should check their flight plans immediately.

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:00:49 -0600

Lausanne, the home of the Olympic Headquarters, will host both the first-ever ITU Sprint Triathlon World Championships, as well as the ITU Team Triathlon World Championships this Saturday and Sunday. Over $100,000 in prize money will be up for grabs throughout the weekend of racing. "We are very excited to host the ITU Elite Sprint Triathlon World Championship and the ITU Team Triathlon World Championship in Lausanne, a city with a history of great sporting events," said ITU President Marisol Casado. "The distances are short, exciting and we think the spectators and viewers will enjoy watching our athletes race at such a high intensity. The shorter distances present a great opportunity for our younger athletes to compete in the sport in a sustainable way." Competitors in the ITU Elite Sprint Triathlon World Championship will complete a 750-meter swim, 20-km bike and 5-km run. Each of the four athletes in the ITU Team Triathlon World Championship will complete a 275-meter swim, 6 km bike and 1.5-km run. Each team will be comprised of two men and two women, racing in the order of female-male-female-male. After each athlete finishes his or her swim-bike-run segment, he or she will tag the next athlete in the relay for the exchange. The Elite Men's Sprint World Championship will be the first event of the weekend, kicking off at 9:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, August 21. Headlining the men's field is Aussie Brad Kahlefeldt, who is currently ranked fourth in the world. He'll be contested by American Jarrod Shoemaker (currently ranked seventh) and Swiss standout Sven Riederer, who will have home field advantage on his side in Lausanne. Other top men competing on Saturday include Great Britain's Jonathan Brownlee, France's David Hauss and veteran Greg Bennett, who will race under an ITU flag, as he is in the process of switching from racing for Australia to the United States. The Elite Women will dive in Lake Geneva to start the Sprint World Championship at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Current world number one Emma Moffatt of Australia heads into the race as the favourite, but she'll have plenty of tough competition, especially from Sweden's Lisa Norden, who is currently ranked third. Switzerland's top two women, Daniela Ryf and Nicola Spirig, will look to take the world title on their home turf. Other top women racing on Saturday include South Africa's Kate Roberts, American Laura Bennett and France's Jessica Harrison.

CEO Challenges Launches Events for New Triathletes

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:14:56 -0600

Fittest CEO® Title up for grabs BOULDER, Colo. - In addition to being called 'CEO', there are CEOs all across the USA that would love to also have the title of 'Triathlete' beside their name. And now, thanks to a collaboration between the world leader in sport competitions for CEOs, CEO Challenges, and the Amica 19.7 Sprint Triathlon Series, hundreds of CEOs will be able to take on their first ever triathlon, and enter into a new phase in their already successful lives. The Amica 19.7 is a series of short 'entry level' triathlons designed to attract people who have the desire to complete a triathlon, but are daunted by the Olympic, Half, or Full Ironman distance. Each race consists of a .5 mile-swim, 16.1 mile-bike, and 3.1 mile-run (19.7 miles). "For years we have been looking for a way to attract more CEOs to the incredible sport of triathlon," stated Ted Kennedy, President of CEO Challenges. "Even though they are entering middle age and would love to get back into shape, the CEOs we talked to were nervous about taking on all the training required to finish even a mid-distance triathlon. Now, through our partnership with the Amica 19.7 Series, we can finally offer them the opportunity to race with us in a triathlon that is, quick frankly, very do-able." The Amica 19.7 Series takes place in 10 major cities throughout the USA in 2010, and plans are in place to add more locations in 2011. Starting with the Phoenix event in November, 2010, each race will now provide CEOs the option (at no extra cost) to sign up for the Chartis CEO Triathlon Challenge. The CEO Challenge will include many great perks, such as special colored swim caps for easy identification, specified bike rack location, no line registration, awards to the top CEO finishers, and, best of all, the Title of that city's Fittest CEO® to the winner! "We fully support the CEO Triathlon Challenge at each of our race venues," stated John Mathews, President of Eident Sports, organizers of the events. "We love the fact that these CEOs are leading by example, and embracing a culture of health & wellness. Working with CEO Challenges, we will also be offering Corporate Relay and Corporate Challenge events designed to include a number of the CEO's employees. Of course the side benefit to having a fit company is the significant reduction in health care costs, which are quickly becoming one of the major expenses CEOs have to deal with."

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:32:48 -0600

Athletes from Across Nation to Compete in Inaugural San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz One of the world's most difficult triathlons boasts 400 foot sand ladder and strong currents. San Francisco, Calif. (August 11, 2010) - This summer, athletes from across the U.S. and as young as 12 years old will attempt what was once thought to be impossible: a treacherous swim from the nation's former high-security federal prison, Alcatraz, to the San Francisco mainland as they kick off the inaugural San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz. Athletes hailing from as far away as New York, Texas, Florida, Massachusetts and Illinois will gather in San Francisco for the event, managed by Tri-California Events. Elite participants racing this year include Melanie McQuaid, three-time X-Terra Mountain Bike Champion from Canada; Ben Collins of Washington, who just won the San Francisco Triathlon at Treasure Island; and Brian Fleischmann, the 2008 Tri-California Elite Series Champion from Colorado. In addition, more than 100 athletes from the triathlon's designated beneficiary organizations, The Challenged Athletes Foundation and Team In Training will also participate. Furthermore, with a growing number of women participating in triathlons, Tri-California Events and San Francisco sporting-goods retailer, Sports Basement, are partnering together to host a series of pre-racing events exclusive to Bay Area women. The events will include a training session and live Q&A, designed for women already participating in the triathlon or those who would like to still sign up. Together, Sports Basement and Tri-California hope to take the away the intimidation factor and train women for a memorable event. "While swimming from Alcatraz is one of the most challenging feats an athlete can attempt, the many groups participating in the inaugural San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz speak to the sense of community a triathlon creates," said Terry Davis, Tri-California Events, President. "Between the grueling swim, hills and sand run, our athletes will truly push themselves, demonstrating the physical and mental preparation and endurance needed to compete." The International Distance Triathlon is set to begin Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 7:00 a.m. PST, where athletes will jump from a boat in the San Francisco Bay, stationed just off the shores of the island of Alcatraz (1.2 miles). And, unlike the prisoners who once tried unsuccessfully to escape from Alcatraz, there will be boats and kayaks standing by for assistance.

ITU World Championship Series Kitzbühel Preview

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:55:25 -0600

The Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series moves to Kitzbühel, Austria, for the penultimate event of the Series this weekend. With only 8,400 residents, the ski resort in the Austrian Alps will be the smallest city to host a Series race this year. The quaint village is renowned for having some of the most difficult ski runs in all of Europe, including the world famous Streif Slope. The surplus of steep climbs surrounding Kitzbühel should make for one of the more challenging bike courses of the season, which bodes well for the stronger cyclists. One of the top cyclists in the women's field will be Switzerland's Nicola Spirig, who won round three of the Series in Madrid. The reigning European champion took second in Kitzbühel last season, and will look to use her power on the bike to move up one spot this year. To do that, Spirig will have to top Aussie Emma Moffatt, who won here last year and is currently ranked first in the world. Moffatt has yet to win a race this season, but finished on the podium in Sydney, Seoul and Hamburg. New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt sits second in the world rankings, but has also been winless this season. Like Moffatt, consistency has been key to Hewitt's success, with the Kiwi finishing in the top six in all four Series events in which she has competed. Sweden's Lisa Norden, who won less than a month ago in Hamburg, also enjoys challenging bike courses and will no doubt look forward to the hills of Kitzbühel. Other top women competing in Austria include 21-year-old Canadian Paula Findlay, who won three weeks ago in London, super-runner Emma Snowsill of Australia, and Brit Helen Jenkins, who finished fifth in Kitzbühel in 2009. After back-to-back wins in Hamburg and London, the men's favourite in Austria has to be Spain's Javier Gomez, who has made 29-minute 10K run-splits routine this season. The Spaniard will have to duel with reigning world champ Alistair Brownlee of Great Britain for the fourth time this season. After winning in Madrid and at the European Championships in Ireland, Brownlee faltered in London, suffering of heat exhaustion at the finish and only managing a 10th-place finish. Brownlee and Gomez finished one-two, respectively, in Austria last year, with the Brit finishing eight seconds ahead. After finishing second in Hamburg and third in London, Germany's Jan Frodeno holds the number one world ranking, with a lead of almost 200 points over Gomez. Another top-four finish for Frodeno will have the German heading into the Budapest Grand Final as the points leader.

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:45:30 -0600

Tri Dynamic, a new triathlon training company in the United Kingdom has been launched. Tri Dynamic will be offering a series of training camps and coaching seminars with coaching legend and bestselling author Joe Friel. The Triathlon Camps will take place all over Europe and in the United States. They will also be working with other top coaches including TrainingBible Elite Coaches Jim Vance and USA Triathlon Developmental Coach of the Year, Adam Zucco. Tri Dynamic aims to offer 'more than just a training camp'. They would like their customers to have a fun experience while learning from the very best coaches out there including Joe Friel, Jim Vance and Adam Zucco. "We'd like you to come away from our camps a smarter athlete knowing that you can improve on many levels, not just through more training." To do so they have also selected some of the best training venues, facilities and hotels so not to compromise on comfort and luxury just because you're on a training camp. The first training event offering will be in Europe with the Jim Vance Swim Seminars which will take place at Hampton outdoor pool in London on September 11-12, 2010. This clinic is designed for triathletes and coaches as an opportunity to learn and understand the principles of triathlon swimming and apply this directly to athletes. Participants will have their swim technique analyzed on video for immediate feedback. The second event on the calendar will be in the USA, Joe Friel Laying the Foundations Testing Camp in Scottsdale, Arizona. The training camp dates will be October 22-29, 2010. This camp will be strictly limited to 20 participants and is designed specifically for triathletes to get the most out of their Winter Training. Joe will be assisted by Adam Zucco on this camp. "This is not your standard swim-bike-run camp. It focuses on exactly what I do with the athletes I coach at the start of their winter training." states Joe Friel "Each athlete is tested for VO2max and other important physiological metrics. Each also has a physical assessment by a physical therapist who looks for potential injuries and areas where strength, range of motion or other interventions could improve performance. I also have a bike fit done for them by a professional fitter. By the time the camp is done I always feel as if we are a great deal closer to achieving the athlete's goals. I think you'll feel that way, also."
