* From Ironman to Everyman – The Wall Street Journal's Katherine Rosman writes: "Hold on to your stopwatches, fitness fans: The mighty triathlon, that macho emblem of athletic sadomasochism, is going soft."
* Chief Fitness Officers – Business Week reports on the link between business success and athletic achievement. "Ultracompetitive personality types, some top execs make time in their schedules to train exhaustively and participate in events around the globe. Staying at the top of their game literally not only has kept them in top physical shape but has helped hone leadership skills, teamwork abilities, discipline, and boosted energy levels. They way they see it, staying fit is a necessary component for success -- personally and professionally."
* Catching Up With Welchie – Listen to the MP3 of Ironmanlive.com's Kevin Mackinnon chatting with Greg Welch. Ironman Korea, Ironman Canada, and Simon Lessing's chances in the heat at Kona are among the topics. "Simon should look at his nutrition," Welch says.
* Race-Day Nutrition Tips from Dave Scott – He's happy that fueling for top race-day performance has evolved well past chowing doughnuts and figs. It has?
* Tom Danielson's Vuelta a Espana Tour Diary – The Discovery Channel rider climbing specialist is chronicling his race through Spain.
* Distracciones de la Vuelta – Hot Spanish girls? Enough said.
