Triathlon on TV (almost)

This has been a lousy year for viewing triathlon on TV, but the ITU will make up for it (somewhat) with live broadcasts of the Triathlon World Championships over Labor Day Weekend. Go to www.triathlon.org and follow the links to their Tricast (they are usually very obvious when the live coverage is active). Switzerland is 6 hours ahead of East Coast (US) time, so plan for an early wake-up (or no sleep at all) if you hope to watch live. If you miss the live coverage (reportedly, ITU will have 26 cameras on the course!), don't worry. ITU will have Tricasts of all the races that you can view very soon after the race finishes.

Start/Viewing Times:

Saturday, September 2nd - Junior Men @ 7am (1am EST)
Saturday, September 2nd - Junior Women @8am (2am EST)
Sunday, September 3rd - U23 Women @730am (130am EST)
Sunday, September 3rd - U23 Men @345pm (945am EST)
Sunday, September 3rd - Elite Women @1045am (445am EST)
Sunday, September 3rd - Elite Men @1pm (7am EST)

Enjoy!
