Ironman Talk competition!

\\We had a great pair of Oakley transition sunglasses that Rolland sent through for us to review. 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!

Age grouper of the week

Jim \u2018Jolly\u2019 Rogers sent through this weeks age grouper. He\u2019s a good man because he\u2019s he sent through his girlfriend as this weeks age grouper. Denise \u2018The Red Hammer\u2019 Wood completed her first Ironman in Coeur d\u2019Alene in a time of 12:52. That\u2019s a great first race! Well done Denise, you are our age grouper of the week.
Jim also mentioned that a previous AFOTW winner, Mac Brown, manage a 13th overall in the same race. \xa0

Website of the week

\\Here\u2019s a site that Skip Kreymborg sent through:
I started triathlons in 1986 and have raced ever since including a 1999 Hawaii Ironman finish... back in the day everything was neon and wild....there is a company here in the states that promotes clothing of all wild prints...
www.RunningFunky.com
I have had a saddle cover for years..\xa0 mine was getting old and worn out... I asked the company if they made them..(was not able to find them anywhere)\xa0 they didn\u2019t know what one was , so i mailed them mine. They used it as a prototype and mailed one back to me. I love it! I was asked to send in a pic and now I am on their website. Go to www.RunningFunky.com\xa0 click on products then on to bike seat cover. thanks for your support on this.
