Triathlete magazine no longer owned by WTC - Competitor Group media division sold to former publisher of Inside Triathlon
Quote | Reply
I finally ended my subscription to Triathlete mag this year after seeing articles like "The Triathlete's Guide to Social Media Stardom." I understood the need to please the changing demographics in our sport, but that was too much. It will be interesting to see how the Triathlete print content changes with the recent purchase by Felix Magowan, former publisher of VeloNews and Inside Triathlon. VeloNews is now owned again by Magowan, as is VeloPress and Competitor, which will maintain an online presence but will cease print publication.

I guess that's why I haven't seen a copy of Competitor magazine since August.

That explains their article promoting 4 destination races with only 2 being WTC

808 > NYC > PDX > YVR
2024 Races: Taupo

Yeah, I ended my subscription ended over a year ago. It was the same issue every month. Long gone were the days of decent race coverage and good interviews with the pros. Instead we got a never ending cycle of the latest fad, the same training plans over and over again, tired lists, etc. I hope they can bring it back to what it used to be...perhaps something more like Lava when it was print.
