Photo of the Day: Chrissie Wellington really is Wonder Woman

Chrissie Wellington recently tweeted this photo of herself and her boyfriend writing, "Some more super hero fun with @brooksrunning. Maybe this can be my race kit for next year?"

There are probably very few amateur or pro triathletes that would disagree with the fact that she is indeed Wonder Woman. To complete the look all she needs now is an invisible bike, but on the the other hand that might be a bit tricky to find in transition.

Video: Tiny Japanese robot on track to conquer the Kona Ironman course

It's not just humans that seek out the title of being an"Ironman". Following the 1900 triathletes that completed the Ironman World Championships in Kona earlier this month, Panasonic's Evolta robots have taken to the famous Hawaii course to also claim this prestigious title, or should we more appropriately say, the "Ironbot" title.
 
The Evolta robots, with one especially designed for the swim, the bike and the run, are seven inch high humanoids powered by three AA rechargeable batteries. They are taking on this ambitious challenge to prove the durability, strength and performance of the Evolta line of rechargeable batteries.

A Colorado family's adventure cheering on the boys of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge

The USA Pro Cycling Challenge (USPCC) is making its way through my home state of Colorado and as avid cycling fans, we were determined to catch some of it.  We grabbed the kids and made our way up to Vail to catch the time trial.

We decided to hang out at the finish end of the time trial and I was hopeful that due to its hilltop finish, it would be less packed.  And it was, for a little while.
