A Helmet For Heroes

April 11, 2013

in Sports

It’s great when our sport rallies around a cause. We’ve support Jordan Rapp’s efforts for World Bicycle Relief in the past (thanks for the Macca bio!). In 2012, Timothy O’Donnell picked up a project initiated by Dori Spaulding to benefit Team RWB. TO solicited 13 pro triathletes and had them sign a Rudy Project Wingspan II. The result, A Helmet For Heroes, is now on eBay to coincide with a Team RWB Tri Camp this weekend that TO is attending. The helmet was signed by Timothy O’Donnell, Mirinda Carfrae, Craig Alexander, Chris McCormack, Michael Lovato, Amanda Lovato, Julie Dibens, Chrissie Wellington, Laura Bennett, Greg Bennett, Matt Reed, Sheila Taormina, Meredith Kessler, and Jessica Jacobs.

Two Triathlon Stories from this past week

09.23.2012

We were encouraged to read about a study examining potential causes in triathlon deaths. The preliminary data analysis from Larry Creswell, MD, is here. As expected, the swim portion of the race is the major contributor, and as has been noted, the causes are not drownings, as is often assumed. Rather, SCA – Sudden Cardiac [...]
