Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has read any well written articles that introduce triathlon to wider audience? A friend of mine has asked for help to put together an article for a local municipality newspaper introducing triathlon and an upcoming sprint event in the area. My friend assumed that just because I have written a few articles in media and I am able to post funny things on FB I would make a good sports journalist. My head is absolutely empty.... As I will not be writing in English I thought it would be a good idea to get some best practice examples, if there are any. I have been thinking of collecting some personal stories about beginner triathletes to make it more personal and not so unachievable. Eg I have a friend who was nearly the last one on a bike leg of a tri and then she saw that there is someone in front of her she could pass if she tries hard. it came out the other biker was just a regular village guy pedaling to get his next beer in the local shop ..... I try to collect some more small stories. But other than that, no ideas.
