day after tomorrow i am attending a board meeting of an organization i helped found 4 years ago. it's called triathlon business international. its founding members include IMG, active.com, blueseventy, 2XU, competitor group, de soto, WTC, champion system, orbea/orca, tricalifornia (i.e., wildflower), Rev3, Mike Reilly (voice of Ironman), a number of races belonging to the Life Time series, owners of the Los Angeles Triathlon, and others. we quietly work (well, less quietly now, since i'm posting this) with WTC, and the ITU, and USAT, on rules issues. i wrote the current rule that tells you, helle, and you, bjorn, exactly how you can legally sit aboard your bikes. i am very interested in helmet certification reciprocity. we have face-to-face meetings with the ITU's technical chair on rules that attend wetsuit manufacture and the rules for bikes.
i have, from the beginning of this organization's existence, asked pro athletes to become a part of it. we are "industry" and that includes race directors, race service providers, manufacturers, media, coaches, retailers and, one assumes, pro triathletes. all these other categories are included in our group. there are many members and interested parties in all these channels or silos except... pro triathletes.
I'll help if there's anything I can do. Haven't heard of it before.
