as many of you know I'm a keen cyclist - I rode across America on my bike two years ago! Once I did a novice triathlon - swim, bike and run. I enjoyed it but have never repeated it.
It's interetsing to read in the paper that triathlons are the "in" sport now, so I've been putting more articles on this demanding sport on http://www.sportandme.com.
The latest one is "Ironman Triathlon-Run Equipment Choices" by Ray Fauteux. He offers lots of excellent, down-to-earth advice for the novice traithlete.
