A triathlete thought it would be SO FRICKIN' COOL to put a powerbar gel on the Valentine's cake.

Dave Scott hasn't signed the petition for women's equality in triathlon because he's too busy picketing HyVee for equality in doughnut discounts for 6x kona champs.

Lifetime Fitness has created a great package deal for the over-40 triathlete.

Lifetime Fitness offers all the resources you need for a successful triathlon!

Northern latitude triathletes endure tough training conditions this winter. Here's Andrew Yoder on a daily ocean swim.

Having been voted the world's most scenic triathlon, Challenge Wanaka is bracing itself for an invasion attempt from the Dark Lord Sauron.

The lack of video coverage of Challenge Wanaka was explained as, "We only own one camera, and it's on its way to Challenge Dubai."

Now that WTC has aligned its rules with ITU's, we can expect to see a lot more ironman pros carrying selfie sticks.

I'm in. How 'bout y'all.

Nice! I might have to borrow that idea.

Water safety officials are preparing the swim course at Challenge Dubai.

In 1952 sailor Jack O'Reilly became the first person to get his M-dot tattoo covered up, after his commanding officer called him a cannon cocker.

At Challenge Dubai, Michael Raelert lost 2nd place after a 4 minute penalty for being paced by a man in a camel suit.

Robot-controlled camels as bike marshals seemed like a good idea until they led racers off course to a watering hole.

Daniela Ryf's unconventional bike training paid off when her shifting broke and she had to race Challenge Dubai with only one gear.

The coca-cola sponsored Team Bravo debuted to disappointment in Brazil. While fans hoped for Rachel Joyce in a tanga, they got Craig Alexander in a fuel belt.

Short of volunteers, Rock & Roll marathons have started a new way of dispensing gels at self-serve aid stations.

Ironman is holding a contest on twitter. Please follow this link to #IMgear and vote for your favorite picture, which will win a gift certificate to the ironman store. If I win, I'm going to buy this squatty pottie, and everyone can come over and use it whenever you want.

Instead of a prize purse at ironman New Zealand, wtc will give the winner a life-sized statue of Gollum's head.

At ironman New Zealand, Dave fulfilled a lifetime fantasy by reenacting the Ironwar while dressed as Legolas.

I'd prefer this over any finisher's medal, shirt, trophy, or other swag I've ever seen.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Somehow, after nearly a decade on Slowtwitch, I missed this thread until tonight! I stopped and viewed all 12 pages, slowly, until I caught up to the last post.

Never, ever, stop! You are a true gem on this forum!

It'd be a great place to hang a finisher's medal as well.

Thank you! I'm glad you found the thread and that it gave you an evening's entertainment!

On International Women's Day, Andrew Messick showed how he prefers the scales of equality to be tipped.
