Computrainer: Interactive Bike Course Videos

Computrainer has released Interactive Bike Course Videos:

Instead of 3D graphics, the Interactive Bike Course Videos include real footage of the bike courses. To make it all happen, RacerMate (the manufacturer of CompuTrainer and an Ironman Sponsor) spent 2007 filming 15 Ironman and Ironman 70.3 bike courses. The videos were then combined with CompuTrainer software to precisely synchronize the film speed with rider speed.
…
The price of one course DVD is $99.95 plus postage, while a package of two costs $159.95.

I have a Computrainer and I think it’s a great product, but $99 for one DVD/course! It’s just too much. I’ll stick with the 3D package.

New Report: Number of DNFs per Event

I created a new report that shows the number of DNFs per event (see image below).

SkiRough has an interesting post about a clinic with Dave Scott (with pictures).

New Events RSS

There are a lot of people who prefer to use RSS rather than go to individual sites (I am one of them). Up till recently triresults.com had no RSS feeds at all, even though I spend most of my day working with RSS technology. A couple of days ago I added an RSS support to the page that displays athletes results and today I added another RSS feed, “New Events RSS”, that shows last 25 events that were added to triresults.com:

If you click on it, you’ll see something like this:

When you click the event name link, it will take you to the results page for that event. Let me know if you have any questions.

How to add the TRIResults Widget to Blogger

To add the TRIResults Widget to Blogger, please do the following:

• Click the “Take these results with you” link on the athlete’s results page:

• Copy the code in the text box.

• Go to the template tab in your blogger blog.
• Click on “Add a page element”.

• Click on the “add to blog” button of “Html/JavaScript” tab.

• Paste the code provided by TRIResults and click on save changes.

That’s it! If you have any questions, please let me know.

TRIResults Widget

I have created a TRIResults widget that you can add to your website or blog. It looks like a text box and it shows your last 5 results that are in TRIResults.com. I will write another post with specific instructions.

Here’s an example for Tim DeBoom

and this is what it looks like embedded in a blog tripaika.blogspot.com.

Technical details: the width of the Results Box is 225px, the height is 380px. It always displays results from the last 5 triathlons for this athlete. This widget will only work with blog publishers that allow iframe tags (e.g. Blogger).

UPDATE: Here’s the link to the post where I explain how to add TRIResults widget to Blogger.

Here is a new site that pulls triathlon news from the web. It’s in a blog format, but it includes all recent posts from sites like Google News, Beginnertriathlete.com, Ironman Talk, Gordo’s Blog and others. Check it out: http://tripaika.blogspot.com.
