Dear group,

Today I have received my first issue of the magazine "Triathlete", which has some great stories.
The problem is that it is very expensive for us Europeans to deal with companies in the US so the
ads in the magazine are not very useful. Does anyone know of a triathlon magazine that is not so
"americanized"?

(Just to make sure: In my opinion the USA is a great country and I have nothing against the
american people :-) ).

Sincerely

Kim

Well, I never buy magazines for their ads, but the other ones are "Inside Tri" (which I don't like
because it seems to be more race coverage and less "how-to"😉 and AmericanTri (which is fairly new
but which I do like because it has a lot of "how-to" articles). Both, I think, focus on American
advertisers.

Can't you just use the magazine for reading and the internet for purchasing?

There is one thing about America that I don't particularly like, it's "Triathlete" magazine.

Their article about Kona is really great. I read it on the train sitting on the edge of the seat.
Maybe I'm easy to arouse, but it was exciting to read. However, I am starved of triathlon articles
so I may be easy to please. :-)

Thanks. I'll stick with Triathlete for now.

Sure, and thats generally what I do. The only problem is if you search on google for some tri gear
you'll wind up somewhere in the US, and then you know you'll be paying through your nose when your
order arrives. I see the ads as "teasers" that may or may not be pursued. So it would give the
reading a new dimension if the ads were usable at all for me.
