ITU Style racing is pure athletics..

I stumbled onto this earlier this morning, lifted it off a friends site...

ITU style Triathlon is so athletic, you won't see a "prototypical" tri athlete carrying some extra weight slogging it slowly..

The guys run 29.5x's at the sharp end and the gals are 31.5x's.. The swim times are pretty incredible as well.

They are all gazelles, greyhounds whatever you want to call them..

If I didn't have Ironman on the sked this year, I would get back to focusing on going fast, fast, fast.. Olympic Distance, Half Ironman, Duathlons and Aquathlon. Frankly, it's less volume and more time focused on quality..

Enjoy the video, and have a good weekend!
