"I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE THE GROWTH OF TRIATHLON"

Reflecting on the Games, it's what happened beyond the results, good as they were, that I think will resonate most with people in the weeks and months to come. It's the emotions that those moments evoked that we hope will motivate people of all ages and capabilities to start or continue their triathlon journey. Everyone is invited to be part of the community, whether for the first time through the Swim Bike Run programme, as part of a club, qualifying for the age-group team or picking up a volunteering or coaching role. I can't wait to see how the spectacle of Paris will impact the growth and engagement across the triathlon community.

I did my first triathlon in the Cotswolds in 2016. Triathlon has such a strong community, so the best thing for me was completing it with great friends and feeling a real sense of achievement at the finish.

How to Carb Load - Packing your working cells with carbohydrates in the build-up to your big race is a proven strategy to race stronger and faster...

Whichever distance triathlon you're racing, the intensity and duration of your activity will see your body tap into its stores of carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) to power your effort. While it's possible to top up your tank on the go, it's better to start your event with your stores full to the brim.

The Olympic Champion - On 31 July, Great Britain's Alex Yee put together arguably the greatest one-day performance we have ever seen at an Olympic Games to win gold. And we were there at the finish line to speak to tri's new poster boy...

The opening line of the race report read how 20 years on from New Zealand’s first and only Olympic triathlon gold medal, Hayden Wilde had put in a careerbest performance to regain the title for his nation. Then Alex Yee comes around the corner.Yee’s charge, seemingly from nowhere on the final lap of the 10km run in Paris, didn’t just help him become the most decorated Olympic male triathlete of all time, and didn’t just cap a rivalry that has been building for six years, it left seasoned watchers of swim, bike, run in awe. It will go down as one of the greatest triathlon races; Yee, still just 26, as one of the greatest triathletes. His medals from Paris added to the two from Tokyo, leaving his haul at two gold, a silver and a bronze, and counting.
