Triathlon is hot. In the past five years, participation in the sport has increased by more than 30 percent in the United States. It's estimated that nearly 500,000 people in this country will dive in the water, hop on their bikes, then change into running shoes all in a single race this year. Who are all these folks, and why should you join the crowd?

I have a hard time exercising unless there's some type of cool technology involved. jnielsen posted his heart rate and GPS info from the Ironman Arizona triathlon race. "I used my Garim 301 for the entire race and loaded it up to motionbased.com . The GPS has the distance almost dead on. Check it out - but no cracking on my time:) It's a pretty cool tool - I actually swam a pretty straight line!". Links to the individual maps and data here. Posted by Phillip Torrone
