Trainer Video - Boys Chase Girls

This is a fantastic ITU race video, shot along the beaches in the South of France. It showcases top athletes competing in the "Equalizer" format, giving the girls a head start on the boys. I won't spoil the finish, but it's really close.

Highlight - the little girl running alongside the race leader at 1:04 in is totally inspirational. 

It is well over an hour long, perfect for a nice trainer ride. Enjoy!

Trainer Video - POV Tri Bike Race Through Bejing

This one is GREAT! You get over an hour of somebody's cockpit view of tearing through Bejing in an Olympic distance triathlon.

It has heart rate, speed, cadence, leaning into turns, passing the competition... pretty much everything it takes to make it exciting as possible.  There's just wind noise for audio, so I listened to heavy metal on Pandora and enjoyed the heck out of it.
