News: IM Asia Pacific Champ to be in Melbourne, Results from IM Regensburg and Norseman, Embrunman and Challenge Copenhagen are coming up, Hits triathlon serious doing some cool stuff to get clubs involved in their races, John's ITU update.

This Weeks Discussion: Would it be a good idea for the regional IM champs (eg Frankfurt, Melbourne etc) to become the main qualifiers for Kona (with lots of slots) and to qualify for a regional IM you need to have done a relatively easy qualifying time in the last 3-5 years. All other IM's would have only say 1-3 spots per AG. Comment here

Discussion of the Week: Neil sent this email through: In 1984 there was an tri that was based on each leg taking approximately the same amount of time. It was called the Equilateral Triathlon, ask Scott Molina he took part in it. The swim leg was 5.6 miles, the bike 50 miles and the run 20 miles. The idea was that for a quality athlete each leg would take approximately 2hrs. If there was an equilibrium triathlon today who would be World Champion?  Secondly how many listeners would still be taking part if these were the distances?
