The 5150 Hy-Vee Championship race was my goal this season and the effort to qualify was worth the effort. A purse of $1,000,000, 60 of the best non-drafting athletes in the world, and a huge crowd made this the best race I've ever competed in. As soon as Amy and I landed in Des Moines, we were imp

http://vimeo.com/20446747 From Jordan Jones: With the real US triathlon season beginning in May, it's challenging to find early season races to test triathlon fitness. That's why I made the trip to the inaugural Rev3 Triathlon Costa Rica last week. Rev3 Triathlon is a relatively new entrant
