I was trekking in Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia in January and had been without cell service for days when my Garmin suddenly went crazy. I’d just emerged from a deep valley onto a high, barren amphitheatre ringed by glacial mountains when the iPhone buried in my pack connected with a tower somewhere and my watch started to vibrate, a cascade of notifications tumbling down its face.
“The Green Metro line is down in Montreal,” I told my husband. Montreal, 10,500 kilometres away. Well, how about that? Clearly, I needed to know.
I am smitten by my Garmin, a Forerunner 955 Solar that ..read more

The 2024 supertri (formerly SuperLeague) season has been announced and it includes two races in the United States – supertri Boston and supertri Chicago. The series will then head back to Europe for the fourth edition of supertri London and third running of supertri Toulouse before rounding out the year with the final in NEOM, Saudi Arabia.
Supertri bought the Chicago and New York Triathlon events from Life Time last year. The New York race was cancelled for this year over issues with the city for a fall date, but the Chicago event is one of the largest triathlon races in the world with ..read more

Thankfully for millions of runners and triathletes around the globe, coffee can be enjoyed guilt-free as part of a healthy sports diet. Coffee contains nutrient-dense plant compounds called phytochemicals that promote health and offer strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies suggest coffee can actually improve heart-health. That said, high coffee/caffeine intakes can trigger pre-existing cardiovascular conditions such as atrial fibrillation. And, needless to say, coffee brimming with sugar, flavorings, cream and coffee whitener is not a part of this conversation.

A leaked website had spilled the beans a few days ago, but it’s all official now – Ironman has announced a new event in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa that will take place on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025.
Leaked! Ironman Ottawa to launch in 2025?
Just a few hours from Lake Placid and Mont-Tremblant, Ottawa could well become the event to replace both of those Ironman events. Last year was the last running of Ironman Mont-Tremblant, and Ironman Lake Placid was renewed for just two years. This year, the 25th anniversary of the race, is the second year of that deal. Typically the Lake Placid race woul ..read more

Yesterday we wrote about tubeless tires, and why you’re likely to be riding them in the future. Today we’re going to focus on hookless rims (pictured above is a hookless rim from Cadex), which is rapidly becoming the new standard on the wheel front.
What is a hookless rim
Here at Triathlon Magazine, we were first introduced to hookless rims a few years ago when Zipp launched its new 808 and 858 Firecrest wheel sets. (See below.)

Making decisions that fly in the face of a prevailing trend is often seen as unwise. But to paraphrase author James Baldwin, those who say it can’t be done may be interrupted by those who are doing it, and succeeding.
These days, triathlon headlines are dominated by big races, and even bigger series – like the Ironman Pro Series or the Professional Triathletes Organisation’s T100 Triathlon World Tour and, of course, the Olympics. But no one gets their start in the sport at these races.
Instead, it’s the community races, like the 41-year-old Peach Classic Triathlon in Penticton, BC that is ofte ..read more

An unexpected leak on Ironman’s travel partner Nirvana’s website momentarily revealed an exciting addition to the Ironman calendar. On Friday, April 12, the events section briefly listed a new race set for Ottawa on Sunday, August 3, 2025. This date strategically aligns with the Civic Holiday on August 4 for most Canadians, providing a perfect long weekend for the event.
Towards a second Ironman in Canada?
The addition of an Ironman in Ottawa could reshape the triathlon landscape in Canada, especially following the recent discontinuation of Ironman Mont-Tremblant. Currently, Ironman Canada-Pen ..read more

It has been an amazing run already for Sam Long in 2024. He started his year off with a win at Ironman 70.3 Pucon, then took second at T100 Miami (pictured above) thanks to a stellar bike/ run combo that saw him go from almost being lapped out of the race to the podium. Last weekend the American took second at Ironman 70.3 Oceanside behind a resurgent Lionel Sanders, then this weekend he went from last to second at the T100 Triathlon World Tour race in Singapore.

He made it look very controlled, but his trip to the hospital after the finish assured us it was anything but! Dutch T100 wildcard Youri Keulen just missed the podium at T100 Miami, but followed that up with the race of his career as he took the win the second race of the T100 Triathlon World Tour in Singapore today.
While temperatures were a bit lower for the men compared to the women’s race yesterday (31 C vs 34 C), the humidity was higher, making it a challenging day for the men competing.

All eyes were on the women’s race at today’s supertri E world championship in London and the home country hero,Beth Potter (seen above winning last year’s Arena Games world championship – it has been renamed to supertri E) staked her claim as the favourite to take gold at the Paris Olympics this summer with a big win over French rival Cassandre Beaugrand. American Katie Zaferes kept her Olympic hopes alive with a third-place finish in the world championship event.
