Triathlon Reality Show Casting for Athlete's
Can't Post
It doesn't matter is you are fast or slow, a newbie or an old vet, if you love the sport of triathlon and are up for the ultimate challenge, then we want to hear from you.
We are casting for television's first triathlon based reality show to be shot this Summer over a 3-4 week period.
Contestants will be coached by the best pros in the industry as they compete, train and live in our custom, triathlon village.
Send us a picture, and tell us a little about yourself, and you never know you might end up on TV!
Thanks

Define "athlete".
Arguably the best tri coach in the world has never done a triathlon.
Reading your t-dot website, I wonder what you know at all about the sport, except what you can regurgitate from other sources...

We tried to get one of these up and running in Canada last year. Some interest from OLN, but not enough to go through.
Best of luck with it!!!

I have to ask??? But what kind of life structure does someone have that could put their life on hold and do a reality TV show. Is it just going to be people who still live at home with their parents and college kids on summer break? Don't get me wrong, I'd watch the show if it ever made it to the air waves, but I'm just curious how people do that? "Survior" at least is for some huge money and exposure on a national level for people who think they need to be discovered, thus there's always at least one girl with the breast implants.

so, is that your email at the bottom that we send a picture and "tell [you] a little about [myself]?
you guys joke about what kind of lifestyle you must have to stop what you are doing and be on a reality show for a few weeks...well conveniently I'm a college student who would be more than willing to drop his job and school for a month to focus on his obsessive training for his first IM...and did I mention get free gear that I otherwise couldn't afford? I guess that would mean I could give away my OCR3, clip-on aerobars and wheelcover. any takers?...I'm keeping the helix though, you can't take away my helix...nobody can...

Hey there's the next big question...are you bringing in any girls with breast implants? I might be able to help there!!! Maybe not providing them, but certainly with the interviewing! Let me know if you need help!!!
No implants (that I could see), but, looks like Jessi is onboard and, if so, dude, I'm in ...

And Faris. Nothing on the website indicating that these pros will be involved in the show, but, they appear on the website (FWIW). Ah, what the hell, why not send in the info?
