A Triathlete Reviews the New Garmin Forerunner 970 Smartwatch

4 days ago | triathlete.com | Chris Foster

The Garmin Forerunner 970 has two major hardware upgrades – a built-in flashlight and a speaker/microphone – and a small handful of software/platform updates to help dial in training gains, but also a big leap in price from the previous model. When Garmin released the last version of the Forerunner 9xx series – the Forerunner 965 – way back in spring of 2023, I wasn’t exactly blown away.
"Race Weight" Calculators Are Critically Flawed

5 days ago | triathlete.com | Jill Colangelo

In the quest for improved performance over the years, triathletes have tried a lot of things – some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them outright boneheaded. While many of the latter have rightfully been relegated to the back of our memories along with things like men’s race-day briefs, some seem to live beyond their usefulness.
This Paratriathlete Became the First Blind Woman to Swim the English Channel

6 days ago | triathlete.com | Sarah Wassner Flynn

The repetitive, rhythmic motion of swimming comes as naturally to Melanie Barratt as breathing. Whether gliding through the narrow lanes of an indoor pool or cutting across a vast ocean, she slices through the water with strong, efficient strokes and smooth form. For Barratt, swimming feels almost effortless – like she could do it with her eyes closed. In a way, she does. Barratt is legally blind.
2025 San Fransisco T100 Pro Bike: Youri Keulen's Pinarello Bolide TR

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Chris Foster

Despite a relatively young career at long-course triathlon, Youri Keulen (NED) has already made a big impact. Beginning with a big top-10 finish at the 2023 Ironman 70.3 World Championship, Keulen finished off that season with two wins at Challenge events in October. But in 2024 Keulen really made his mark with a win at Singapore T100 in April and a solid middle-distance season with a second-place finish at 70.3 Les Sables D’Olonne and two top 10s at T100 events in July and September.
2025 San Fransisco T100 Pro Bike: Ashleigh Gentle's Scott Plasma RC

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Chris Foster

With a collection of short-course medals, three 70.3 wins, and five major PTO wins on her resume, all eyes are on Australia’s Ashleigh Gentle at this weekend’s San Fransisco T100 event. Though she notably struggled at the 2024 edition of the San Fransisco T100, she’ll be looking to improve on that seventh-place finish with a much stronger bike than we saw last year (ninth fastest split on the day in 2024).
What Our Editors Used and Loved in May 2025

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Rebekah Brately

It’s officially triathlon season! If you haven’t started racing yet, you’re probably increasing your mileage and intensity and on the lookout for tools that make training a little easier or more practical. Our editors are sharing the items that have helped them the most throughout their May training sessions.
7 Essential Exercises for Back Strength Every Triathlete Needs

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Amber Sayer

If you’re someone who feels underwhelmed when people tell you that practicing yoga is valuable for athletes, I understand. I fell into this camp for years as a competitive runner. A lot of us with limited exposure to the practice consider its only benefits to be flexibility and relaxation. For most triathletes, those tend to fall pretty low on the list of priorities – after all, a triathlete’s dance card is pretty easily filled with swim, bike, and run workouts.
Triathlon News & Notes: May 2025 Edition

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Susan Lacke

May 2025 was full of triathlon news to discuss on training rides and group runs, from the first-ever woman to win an XTRI outright to the ever-heated question of who should make our list of the greatest triathletes of all time. We conducted (kinda gross, kinda fascinating) science experiments with bike bottles, learned the only race strategy beginner triathletes need, and celebrated the first African-American woman to win an Ironman-branded race.
Ironman Hamburg 2025 Pro Preview

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Thorsten Radde

Ironman has announced that the World Championship will return to a one-day format in Kona from 2026 onward, but for 2025, there will still be two different locations for the men (Nice) and women (Kona). Similarly, the 2025 European Championships are split between Hamburg (women) and Frankfurt (men and age-groupers), just as last year. There have been no announcements of Ironman’s plans for the coming years.
2025 San Francisco T100 Pro Preview

1 week ago | triathlete.com | Thorsten Radde

Last year, San Francisco T100 was one of the highlights of the PTO’s new racing series: An iconic venue, incredible race dynamics after a fast swim, a three-way sprint finish for the men, and a dominating performance by Taylor Knibb for the women. With this year’s strong fields, we can look forward to exciting racing, which you can watch live. The men’s race will start with a 6 a.m. plunge from a small ferry in the cold San Francisco Bay; the women will start 45 minutes later.
