A few days ago, @worldtriathlon decided to make Hamburg a World Championship, a decision that has been poorly received by many top ITU athlete. Here’s my rant on the matter: youtu.be/3oLh_n9TtNs

I’m all for pro athletes having more ownership of our sport and the stated goals of the PTO. But we have to honestly ask whether the format of the Collins Cup moves us forward or is simply reinforcing systemic issues in our sport.

All money is based on ranking (essentially appearance fees), reinforcing the financial disparity in this sport. Shouldn’t there be room for a dark horse athlete to pop out a great result and be compensated accordingly? Pay all qualifiers equal appearance, but also have prize $

Overall I think the concept is great. But don’t try to pretend this is for the good of all pros. In the current format, it’s essentially an Invitational race. There’s nothing wrong with an Invitational, but let’s be honest about the potential shortcomings.

I’m the first to recognize that I had a bad year and didn’t make the cut. That’s not the problem. If a race is genuinely in the best interests of pros, there’s a serious failure in execution with this format. Great principle, deeply flawed execution.

Sarah, I don't have an algorithm, but I believe I know a little bit about the real rankings; and at worst you're one of top 10 female athletes in the world. Very sorry you were overlooked.

I’ve been a pro triathlete for years, but I only found out about this whole Collins Cup/ PTO thing like everyone else- on social media this morning. It’s totally okay, I swear, I really enjoy having another massive chip on my shoulder. Makes me strong.

That said, if we want to have a viable race alternative for pros, it’s important to include as many of us as possible. Communicate often, communicate effectively, and make this inclusive. There’s already a wide gap between the top earners & the rest- try not to perpetuate that.

What does a World Tour cyclist do after a devastating crash? If you’re @theboz91, you embark on an epic new gravel phase! I’m really excited to see our friend transition his career with @wahoofitness. #WahooFrontiers (this video is amazing btw 👇) youtube.com/embed/Q5F3ytHbDv…

Thank you @Greenpeace & big sis for letting me channel my creative energy into this issue that impacts us all. Tackling climate change is the defining challenge of our time. I’m honored to add my voice to this chorus of artists.

January 10: You may know Sarah True (@sgroffy) as a two-time Olympian in triathlon and Ironwoman (and my sister). You may not know that she is an excellent and prolific printmaker. Here’s her #ClimateVisionaries piece. greenpeace.org/usa/stories/s…

I was inspired by the visuals of polar ice melting, a consequence of climate change that is happening in real time. I intended to capture a sense of abstraction, as…

A coach can work with many athletes over the course of their career. An athlete only has ONE career & ONE body. The weight of that responsibility should be huge when working w athletes, esp development & pros. Any coach who isn’t mindful of it does their profession a disservice.

As any good coach will tell you, a big part of the challenge working with highly motivated athletes is holding us back. Ambition can make otherwise intelligent& sensible athletes irrational& self-destructive. The goal should be to protect & educate, not feed into those tendencies

If you're a female and your coach is giving you a specific weight number to hit, this is a red flag. If you find yourself in that position, I'd suggest saying: I would rather talk to a professional nutritionist about it.

Millions of people follow three WEEKS of Tour de France tv coverage & yet @Diamond_League thinks fans won’t tune in for more than 90 minutes of a track meet?! The problem isn’t the events-it’s how they’re covered. Tell stories, split screen, better camera shots & fans will watch.

Diamond League meetings will no longer feature the 200m, 3,000m steeplechase, discus or triple jump at all of its events in 2020. Full story: bbc.in/2rkIWfz

Blown away by the brave & intelligent @runmarycain in this piece. Please take a few minutes to watch it. Unfortunately there are many bullying, controlling coaches out there & the system has to change. It starts by speaking out. nyti.ms/2PQHCLH
