Ironmanlife: Rapids Jet - 03/11/2010
"This one's for JJ," said Gary (Gazza) Stephen as he steered the jet boat towards another one of the Nga AwaPurua Rapids on the Waikato River. I'm not sure if human beings are meant to be inside a boat, moving at somewhere between 80 and 100 kilometers per hour (50 and 60 mph) at any time, but I am 100 per cent sure that people aren't supposed to aim for rocks at that kind of speed. Gazza didn't seem too concerned.

Ironman China Preview - 03/11/2010
All eyes are on the temperature as race week approaches and the North corner of Hainan Island settles into tropical triathlon fever in preparation for Ironman China this Sunday.

I was hooked. ...
