Doping News - WADA Bans Oxygen Use

hawaiiboy65 — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:06:13 GMT

World Anti-Doping Agency Bans Supplemental Oxygen Use in Training and Competition.

To read a complete press release, go to: http://www.oxygen4energy.com/wada-bans-oxygen.html

If they ban oxygen, what's next? Energy gels?... Recovery drinks?... Hypoxic Training Equipment?...

To send a petition to WADA regarding this ruling, click on this link: http://www.oxygen4energy.com/wada_petition.php

Please get involved. WADA seems to think they can do whatever they want without justification. Its unfair to the athletes. We need to hold them accountable for their rulings.

Wrinkled Wetsuit help!!

rosirunner13 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:38:40 GMT

My friend wants to sell me a full Ironman Stealth wetsuit but it is pretty wrinkled. He said he last used it summer of 06 and has kept it in storage since. Is there anything I can do to restore the suit back to original form? Other than being wrinkled it looks in good form. I just want it to work as it should and I don't want to buy a suit that isn't going to be good for me. Thanks and I would appreciate any advice.

NEW Éireman - Long & Middle Distance Triathlon "New Prices for 2009"

eoinryan — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:59:51 GMT

Hi All - Happy New Year.

As mentioned we would announce if we'd managed to reduce the entry fee of Eireman - Long & Middle Distance Triathlon. Well in keeping with the never give up attitude of Triathlon we have pooled together several different ways to reduce the price without reducing the service. Even the "Druids" have helped us... (somewhat!). Extra initiatives including sponsors, local help and long term deals with suppliers have made it possible for us to manage the difference. Congrats are due to some team members in particular for their assistance. You know who you are!

Anyway this is the result:

Euros Until May 31st Until June 30th Until July 31st

Middle 80 90 100

Long 250 280 310

INTRO (relay) 400 450 450

For those who have already entered we will reimburse you the difference at registration. Pls contact us at info@eireman.org if you have any questions

The prize money will be revised & reduced. This was part of the restructure and will be relooked at in year 2. In current economic times it makes more sense to make the race more accessible to many rather than reward a small number of ppl.

Note: Active Europe will make the changes early next week. They have not been made so far!

There are more details on the website about the Kids event and further details of accommodation including Self Catering and nearby Camping will be on the website in the next week. An FAQ will also appear once the prices are bedded in online.

The event has received great publicity to date. The Irish make up most of the entries (as you'd expect) followed by the UK and the US.

We will be announcing some of the other initiatives in the near future.

Keep an eye on the website http://www.eireman.org/

Introducing Éireman http://www.eireman.org/ 23rd August 2009

Location is Courtown Harbour, Co. Wexford, Ireland.

Entry limit 1,500 - now OPEN

We have done something quite unique. We have incorporated Irish Mythology and Triathlon together to create this unique race.

The winner of the Male & Female race will be 'crowned'. Yep, they will be crowned in a lavish ceremony at the finish line by Druids and be called ‘Éireman 2009’.

There are 4 races including:

Long distance - 2.4m swim, 112m bike, 26.2m run

Middle distance - 1.2m swim, 56m bike 13.1m run

INTRO - Team of 3 - 6 covering the Long Distance

Éireman Warrior Kids race (22nd August)

Courtown Harbour is on the east coast of Ireland.

2 hrs from Dublin Airport and 1 hr from Rosslare Europort.

This course has potential to be very fast.... The swim is in a sheltered bay. The cycle is on CLOSED roads. This closed road is a two yr old Duel Carriageway in mint condition. There are no major hills at all. Strong cyclists will eat this up. The run is flat and scenic. It starts off through an old Irish wood, takes in some country roads and then around a neighbouring town (Gorey).

This could be just the course for a PB!!!

All the Facilities from the BIG races you'd expect will be onhand (and maybe more) to make this a memorable race

Hope to see some of you guys over there.

'Next Summer for the first time in nearly 1,000 years someone is going to be crowned Éireman....'

This will all make sense if you check out the website www.eireman.org

With Regards

The Éireman Team

Sponsorship Advertising help!

Wondering Soul — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 05:37:45 GMT

Hi. I have recently gotten a couple of my first sponsors to help me out for my first full Ironman. I have a quick question, while deciding what sort of "ads" I want to put on myself. I think the temporary tattoos are a decent way to have everyone see who you want to promote while doing the bike and the run. If you put something on your chest (tri-top) then it will get covered most of the race until the run - so that stinks. I think the tattoos are a good alternative. My question is, where can you get those made, temporary, and on an individual basis? I've browsed briefly online, but have found that for custom temporary tattoos it costs in the range of 50 cents to $1 per tattoo and a minimum of 500!!!

Let me know if anyone has any ideas as far as that goes. Thanks a ton.

speed for endurance!?

Shinnyswimmer — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:25:06 GMT

Currently i am concentrating on stroke, and body position. Drilling has increased my speed, but not my endurance and i don't want to sacrifice one for the other. I can swim 1500m in just under 30 min but am completly drained after wards. Any tips would be awesome. thanks.
