Subject: Triathlete Magazine vs. Inside Triathlon Magazine
I am looking at getting a subscription to either Inside Triathlon Magazine or Triathlete Magazine, I just bought both of the magazines the other days and have been going throught them. I still can't decide which one I like better, I was hoping for some input from each person who has a subscription to either of these magazines so that it can help me make a decision.

Thanks

Inside Triathlon for race coverage, Triathlete for general information. If I had to pick one, I would probably go with Triathlete.

That said, Triathlete gets a bit repetitive after a year or so. And Tinley's colum... well, everyone has their own opinion on it, but I find it annoying 50% of the time, and useless the other 50% :-).

Triathlete has generally been more useful for me than Inside Triathlon.

American Tri was the best, but they folded a few months ago and the editor was hired by Inside Tri.
One of the problems with Triathlete magazine that I've seen is the focus on the pros. Maybe lots of people are big fans of the sport, but for me, I just like to participate and watch the Ironman on NBC once a year, so I could care less about what the pros are doing on a monthly basis (even though I have great respect for what they do).

Cheers,
Kevin

New interview with DuFord formerly of American Tri now with Inside Tri

Edit: Not to make it an us vs. them thing but its interesting to me that Triathlete would have an elite/pro focus as there are so many more of us than them although I actually like reading some of the pro features.
