USAT Multisport National Championships Festival; Lionel Sanders vs Josh Amberger bike splits at Kona; Triathlon Taren; Obsessed Triathlete website.

• The big event for locals is Ironman Arizona in Tempe this Sunday.
• Local pro's Guy Crawford and Kate Bevilaqua are making the trip to China to race in 70.3 Xiamen before heading home to Perth, Australia for the winter.

- My most recent blog post answers this question from one of our athletes: "Lionel Sanders was only 2min faster than Josh Amberger (at the Ironman World Champs), but held 62watts more power over the 4 hours and 20 minutes ride. Why such a big discrepancy in power? Google has their weights listed as Lionel being 11 lbs more. Would 11 lbs require 60+ more watts?"

- "Triathlon Taren" has built an impressive library of youtube videos, many of which are full of solid tips for the beginner to intermediate triathlete. I wish I had seen his video on swim breathing and body balance when I started triathlon training.
