That alsways seems to be the case with Inside Tri being about a month ahead of Triathlete on their race coverage. In Canada, I picked up the Hawaii preview issue of Triathlete on October 20 since it hadn't hit the newstands much earlier than that. At least I was able to judge their predictions without having to stretch my memory too much :)

Inside Communications the parent company for both IT and VeloNews has for a number of years now geared their publishing schedule around the key races in triathlon and cycling respectivly. They were doing this even before the internet started delivering "live" or almost live reporting or in the case of OLN's Tour de France coverage, really live coverage of these major events.

It's funny, some said the advent of the internet would be the death of the magazine business. While the magazine business has not exactly boomed recently, it has been doing well, all things considered - certainly better than all of those .com's that sprouted up 3 years ago.
