We decided that we would have a competition to give them away. So here\\u2019s what you need to do: Create an ad for Ironman Talk, around 30secs to a couple mins long, put it on YouTube.com and then link to it on Athlinks. We\\u2019ll pick three finalist and then we can all have a vote for the winner. Entries close at the end of August. It\\u2019s time to create!\\n \\nTopic of the week\\n\\nWhen I interviewed Macca in Roth he came up with the idea of having a metal system for Ironman races. So for example a 13 hour athlete would get a bronze, 11 hours silver and so on. Do you think this is a good idea? Give us your reasons if you do or don\\u2019t. Plus if you think it\\u2019s a good idea how should it work. Click here to add your comment.\\n \\nAge grouper of the week\\n\\nAlan Hanley sent through this weeks age grouper. Lee Jackson, who\\u2019s getting married in a few weeks, had a great race in Germany. He managed to do a time of 9:18. The reason he got age grouper was because his goal was to beat my time in Roth. He managed to do it by one minute. Well done Lee, you are our age grouper of the week!\\n \\nWebsite of the week\\n\\nHere\\u2019s a site that Matthew sent through:\\nhave you guys ever been over to http://weightweenies.starbike.com/ It's a site devoted to high-end cycling etc. but a lot of time you can get a lot of good information about equipment and some of the latest and greatest tech that has not been released. what i also like about it is that a lot of the contributors are from outside the us and have a real passion for the sport of cycling.\\nMatthew\\n\\ufffc\\nJames Flynn sent us through the first club website: HEAT--\\nHartford Extended Area Triathletes \\u2028http://www.ctheat.org it's a good club, we have at least one Kona qualifier so far. \\n \\nHigh 5\\n \\nDavid Liversidge gave us this weeks high 5 on how to improve your swimming. Thanks for that David.\\n1) If you are not a good swimmer - get a coach or at least someone to look at your stroke. \\n2) Distance per stroke - By this I mean MAXIMIZE your stroke. \\n3) Work on drills every session. \\n4) Swim with your hips. \\n5) Don't cross the center line. \\n6) Don't kick to much. \\n \\nQuestions and Answers\\n \\nWe have questions and answers again this week.
