We're sorry and we screwed up, but we'll get it right. We promise.
Last week we published a poll (HERE) asking you, our valued readers, to tell us who you believed was the sexiest triathlete racing today.
We got a lot of (hate would be too strong so perhaps the better word is critical) emails about our Top Ten Sexiest triathlete contenders.
Comments like: "thats the list?? 2 celebs and no ITU love = lamo terrible choices," and "There should be more pro triathletes in the mix," expressed the general opinion that we had done a poor job in selecting the Top Ten Sexiest Triathletes.
OK, we admit it we just love top ten lists and we especially love any top ten list that features sexy people in general, and specifically sexy triathletes.
Over the last few years we've conducted our annual polls to find both the hottest male and female triathletes each year.
You can check out the polls, photos, and results of those annual polls HERE.
But you have to admit it is hard not to wonder who's the sexiest triathlete of them all. We've gathered photos of ten of what we think are the ten hottest and sexiest triathletes of the last several years.

With 2008 almost in the history books we thought it would be a great time to take a closer look at this year's Top Ten Endurance Sports Winners and Losers.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll bring you the year's biggest winners and losers from the worlds of swimming, cycling, running, and triathlon.
It's been a busy and exciting year for everyone involved in endurance sports so we'll get right to today's list of winners and losers from the world of triathlon.
It seems, at least in triathlon, that all roads in triathlon often lead to the Ironman. But don't be fooled. There are hundreds of great races across the country that offer the same or better triathlon experience as the Ironman branded races at a substantial lower entry fee.
This week at EverymanTri we've put our heads together to present you with the Top Ten Best & Least Known races. And while the races may be numbered, they are in no particular order as they all offer something different and special that must be experienced to be appreciated.
