www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/norway-in-nutshell.htmlWhich brings me to the Norseman iron-distance triathlon, which was held last weekend. … But the vast majority of the time the wind was strong enough that when I got up from my plastic chair on the deck of the boat, it unexpectedly flew away from behind me and shot across the deck with enough force and speed such that if grandma had been in the way she would have gotten run flat over (by the chair, not the reindeer – which they eat here).
Pre-race time back in the pool with wetsuits
www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/04/pre-race-time-back-in-pool-with.htmlGiven this was the first wetsuit TT of the year I hadn’t quite refined my effort expenditure to pace for that distance (after all, the effort is very different than if I swam without a wetsuit). … After all, while the wetsuit certainly speeds swim times (5 minutes per mile is a commonly accepted number for the average triathlete) it also makes it easier to get lazy when it comes to form.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/07/airdog-sports-tracking.htmlWhile many jurisdictions have additional flight distance laws, most are at least 300-400m or so. … To me, this would be pretty easy to implement since you could just have an option to set the speed and camera angle (the other pieces they already do today)…and they’d be done.
