Ironman, PTO, Clash, Challenge and the World Triathlon Series all offer a pro race schedule and prize purses to attract the best pro athletes and find new ways to attract viewers. With all of the races these brands putting out their own race series, there are numerous regional and world championships with even greater prize money. How pro athletes plan their race schedule is harder with all of the races.
Just how bad is it? I researched the pro race schedules for each of these brands, put them in a spreadsheet and we are going to talk about just how congested the race schedule is and just how hard it must be to plan a pro race schedule.

HOW TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON CYCLING PRINT

Pedal to work, pedal for the planet
It’s an obvious one, but according to the omni calculator(opens in new tab), riding your bike to work just three times a week for the next month will reduce CO2 emissions by 24.14kg, and NOx emissions by 0.041kg, planting the equivalent of 37 trees.
It will also add an extra half a day to your life expectancy. You’ll still need to factor in the impact of manufacturing your bike; however, if you already own one, it will soon be carbon neutral.
Be curious about how your cycling gear was made and ask where it comes from. “If consumers want to check what a brand is doing, a good place to start is checking if they have signed up to the Shift Cycling Culture climate change commitment,” says Bronsvoort.
“It means that they have at least started to think about its sustainability and begun the journey.”
