I searched around the mainstream North American tri media and I could find no coverage of these multisport "classic events". For the longest time Nice was "the show" until Hawaii got off its high horse and offered prize money. Zofingen has always been a totally awesome race, often dominated by ironman triathletes who have experience racing beyond 6 hours (in the words of non other than ken Souza). So why is it that North American media coverage of these races is almost zero ?
Hey, back in 1994, the podium at Nice was Lessing-Van Lierde and Peter Reid. I remember people saying that besides Lessing, "no one showed up". That was clearly proven to be false as Reid and Van Leirde racked up 2 Hawaii wins each. I can't wait for Lessing to show up at Hawaii post Athens and lay down some serious smack. This guy can go sub 8 at Kona. He went toe to toe with Mark Allen for almost the whole race at Nice when he was only 22 years old !
