CNN Tri Challenge: Introducing our 2012 team

http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/05/cnn-tri-challenge-introducing-our-2012-team/

The 2012 Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge is officially underway! This year we have selected seven CNN viewers just like you to train for the Nautica Malibu Triathlon with Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Each person will be given a road bike and all of its accessories, a wet suit, and a gym membership. In turn, they will blog, tweet, and share their workouts, from now until race day in mid-September, on Facebook.

We invite you to follow along as the “Lucky 7″ train to swim a half mile in the ocean, bike 18 miles, and run four miles in California!

Denise Castelli always prided herself on being a top-notch athlete. A softball game during her senior year of college changed her life.

As she went to steal second base, she fell and broke her leg. An infection developed and more than thirty surgeries later, Castelli had to have her right leg amputated below the knee. She says she’s anxious to be a part of the Tri Challenge, so she can go back to being an accomplished athlete.

New HRM strap for iPhone 4

by The Coaches on January 4, 2012

Just out from Wahoo, is a bluetooth enabled heart-rate-monitor strap that pairs directly with your iPhone – no added dongles.

We haven’t had the chance to test it properly yet (but it is ordered).  For those of you that ride / run with your cell phone either for music, contactability or exercise apps, this adds a whole new dimension.

DCRainmaker has done a quick review already here.  We especially like the instant upload and pairing with TrainingPeaks that it appears to offer.

Comeback soon for updates once we’ve put it though its paces.
