TriStar111 Estonia welcoming Triathlon Stars

<!--StartFragment-->

 The Ironman70.3 Austria is the kick off to the European Ironman racing season. Unlike the USA, where the continent is flooded with more than 20 Ironman 70.3 races, The European continent has only 4 and thus every Ironman70.3 race is stacked across all ages. This was definitely the case in the mens race with more than 120 professional men lining up for the start of the most competitive Ironman70.3 event of the season so far.

 The Nautica South Beach Miami Triathlon this year had its biggest ever field with over 2700 athletes competing in the event. After the huge success of the Malibu Triathlon on the West Coast, MESP brought their team to South Beach to replicate the event they have in California. Now in its third year this event has grown to be one of the biggest triathlon races in the East Coast and brings in all the celebrities for he first taste of Triathlon.

 For the 2nd year in a row, World Champion Triathlete Chris McCormack won the annual Lavaman Triathlon in record time. This year he was pushed closely by Bermuda Olympian Tyler Butterfield to break his course record by 25 seconds from the year prior. Butterfield crossed the line 32 seconds later to just miss McCormack's old course record.

Chris McCormack partners up with Star Production SARL for the growing TriStar Series. Macca will participate in many of the triathlon events focused on fun, environmental protection and social responsibility. Besides taking the well known role of a professional athlete, Chris McCormack becomes long-term ambassador, member of the technical board, the advisory board and will help implement the TriStar Series on his native continent Australia. 

 Chris McCormack along with BPM Sports and Andrew Tierney from Fitness First Singapore have put together a 90 minute spin class, followed by a 45 minute Question and answer session at Fitness First in Singapore on March 16, 2010. 

 January has to be the best month in Australia for training, and for those athletes preparing for Ironman Australia, Ironman 70.3 Geelong or the Australian Long Course Championships, it is a critical month of work. I am doing a big block of training this year as I intend to race in Ironman China in March, and will use the Australian season events to prepare for this. I will be on the same training program I used to execute for Ironman Australia for the 5 years I won this event.

Macca did an interview this week with Competitor Radio.  Check it out here: http://competitorradio.competitor.com/2009/10/chris-mccormack/
