Ewan Brown and Natalie Seymour’s wins at the Snowman Triathlon last weekend has led to both being crowned the Always Aim High Tri Series champions.
Advertisement
The Always Aim Tri Series consists of three triathlons – the Slateman, Sandman and Snowman. The champion is determined by the individuals who have accumulated the best time over the three races.
Going into the Snowman Triathlon both Brown (pictured) and Seymour had established comfortable leads in the Tri Series, meaning that they could, in theory, ease off at what is one of the UK’s toughest triathlons. Yet both Brown and Seymour displayed a killer instinct and won the tri series in style by storming around the Snowman Triathlon course and finishing in first place.
As a result of winning the AAH Tri Series, Brown and Seymour will jet off to the island of Nevis in the Caribbean for an all-expenses trip as a reward for their feats throughout the Tri Series races. Furthermore, both Brown and Seymour will race in one of the world’s most beautiful events, The Nevis Triathlon.

Held since 2005 and annually sold-out months in advance, the setting for the Elbaman is Elba, Italy’s third-largest Island after Sicily and Sardinia, and located 20km west from the mainland.
The 11th edition kicked-off at 7am on 27 September with two 1.9km swim laps in the warm 20°C plus waters of Marina di Campo Bay, before athletes exited onto the bay’s golden sands and commenced the three 60km loops (totaling 2,500m of elevation gain) around the island’s western peninsula.
With a pre-race goal to break the course record of 9:39hrs, the brilliantly named reigning champ, Lucky Berlage of Belgium, led the field at the halfway stage and would continue to dominate onto the three-lap marathon run. In rising September heat, Berlage broke the tape in 9:26hrs to overcome Alessandro Alessandri’s 2007 Elbaman record.
Winning the women’s in full-distance race was Caroline Engelke-Horn, with the middle-distance winners being Marta Bernardi in the women’s event and Gabriel Hopf in the men’s.

The visualisation platform shows the fitness habits of similar communities in twelve major world cities, namely Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Sao Paulo and Sydney.
Info includes the most popular routes in each city, cities with the fastest runners and cyclists, cities with the most marathoners and facts like the most active times of day in each city.
Unsurprisingly, Londoners are most active between the hours of 7am-9am and 5pm-7pm. They also log the most rides and runs of all, however lag behind on speed and distance. In bike-mad Amsterdam the average length of a ride uploaded is over 40km, whereas Parisians average a swift 8:56mins per mile as opposed to London’s 9 minute mile average.
Paris is home to the fastest runners based on average pace, whilst Londoners are the most prolific Strava users
Over ten million Strava activities have been logged in London over the last 12 months, and the capital is also top for commuting, with almost 10,000 journeys to work uploaded every day.
Curious about how runners and cyclists in major global cities stack up? Here are some of the stats and rankings in so far:

With annual World and European Cups, and the European Championships in 2013, the Olympic-distance side of triathlon has established itself a foothold in Turkey. For athletes going longer, however, the tri scene has long been berefit of races.
Advertisement
That’s all set to change on 25 October when the Ironman juggarnaut rocks up in Turkey for the first time when it arrives at the Gloria Hotels & Resorts complex in Antalya.
The Gloria Ironman 70.3 Turkey was launched at the Ironman Worlds in Hawaii last year, with organisers expecting more than 2,500 participants from over 50 nations in the 1.9km swim/90km bike/21.1km run event.
The race organisers are promising stunning nature, turquoise sea and historical sites in Antalya and Belek. The swim start and T1 will take place at Belek beach, with T2 set in the newly-opened sports complex of the Gloria Sports Arena. The race organiser is the Gloria Hotels & Resorts and guests can be accommodated in the Gloria Hotels and Resorts.
70.3 Turkey course details
The calm Mediterranean Sea of the Turkish Riviera hosts the 1.9km swim, the 90km bike leads through scenic countryside, canyons, sea views of the Med, and some of the best amphitheatres of the Roman era including Aspendos. The 21.1km run passes the picturesque landscape of the 45-hole golf course of the Gloria Hotels & Resorts, ending at the finishing line in the new stadium of the Gloria Sports Arena.
The destination of Belek is one of the fastest growing tourism regions of Turkey due to ist good infrastructure and accessibility, and also the mild climate throughout the whole year, which is ideal for athletes. The complex allows professional athletes and amateurs on an area of 105,000 square meters to train more than 50 indoor and outdoor sports.

Major bike brand Giant has launched its all-new Trinity triathlon bikes this week in Hawaii during the build-up to Saturday’s Ironman World Champs. The new range of composite triathlon bikes includes two series: Trinity Advanced Pro and Trinity Advanced.
Advertisement
A fully UCI-legal time trial version of the new bike, the Trinity Advanced Pro TT, is also being introduced as a frameset for road racers.
The flagship Trinity Advanced Pro model, which is being raced at Kona by top Ironman pro Tim Van Berkel, is engineered and designed with the aim to be the world’s fastest tri bike in real-world racing conditions. Key features include Giant’s AeroSystem Shaping Technology and a number of tri-specific features, including the AeroVault integrated hydration and storage system.
“One of the things I love most about this new Trinity Advanced Pro is that it’s a full-on race-ready machine right out of the box,” said Van Berkel, who won last month’s Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast race on a prototype model. “From the aerodynamic frame and fork shapes to the new geometry and positioning and integrated hydration and storage – it’s everything you need to go faster in training and racing.”
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and wind-tunnel testing, more than 250 frame configurations were developed and tested before the Trinity Advanced Pro design was finalised.
BOLD AMBITIONS
The final version of the Trinity Advanced Pro was tested alongside four key competitors at the wind-tunnel. Going against the Cervélo P5, Scott Plasma 5, Trek Speed Concept and Specialized Shiv, all outfitted with hydration and storage systems, the Trinity, say Giant, proved to be the most aerodynamic as a complete race-ready unit.
The 2016 Trinity triathlon range features two options: the Trinity Advanced Pro, which comes stock with the AeroVault System, AeroDrive Tri components and integrated rear brake fairing; and the Trinity Advanced, which features the same Advanced-grade composite frame but without the integrated AeroVault system, rear brake fairing and AeroDrive fork, stem and base bar.
For road racers, the Trinity Advanced Pro TT frameset features the same Advanced-grade composite frame along with a special AeroDrive TT Advanced-grade fork, stem and handlebar that’s UCI legal for time trial competition. The TT frameset was developed and tested with pro riders from Team Giant-Alpecin. Pre-production versions of the frame have already been ridden to victories at major pro races including Tom Dumoulin’s stage win at the Vuelta a España.

The range of new Giant Trinity triathlon and TT bikes will be available in select markets through Giant retailers starting in November. For more information over the coming weeks, keep an eye on Giant’s website.
