Triathlon and Triathlete Magazines
I had no idea triathlons were such a sexy sports genre. No really. I didn’t. My interpretation of a triathlon was, um, wait a second while I rack my brain…OH! Three events! Endurance events, usually swimming, cycling and running. Knowing that, thoughts of triathletes are rarely sexy, composed of sinewy muscles, an abnormal sense of determination to complete a wholly useless task. But I guess I was wrong.
These are some of Triathlete Magazine and Triathlon Magazine’s covers. Oh la-la! A swim suit edition! Sweet. But this chick's boobs are obviously too big to be a competitive-anything. 
What are these girl’s tri-events? Endurance fasting? Competitive tanning? Makeup application stamina?
And this one, WTF, mate? ”The Sex Issue”? Are you kidding? I don’t think triathletes have sex. And sexy triathlons? Unless the triathlon consists of stripping, modeling lingerie, and wet t-shirt contest, it’s not sexy. This girl looks like she’s modeling for a less classy and extremely cheap Playboy knock-off. She doesn’t even have muscles. I bet if you asked her jog across the room she’d faint.
I’d be appalled, but really, I’m just fascinated. This is a triathlete, easily recognized by the aerodynamic hair cut, body composition that resembles muscle atrophy, the stern look of determination and androgynous physique.

i have thought about doing a triathalon; i just don't have time at this chapter in my life to train for it; I think the thing about these events is just the rush you get after completing one. there are record no.s of folks running marathons and half marathons; people want to be in shape, it is if you will almost a fad to be involved in these events; also, with all the stress floating about, it seems folks have figured out that exercise really helps alleviate it. in my area anyway. as far as the looks of the models on the magazines; they do look rather dolled up, i agree. every athlete was gifted with a different physique. i am VERY athletic but you'd probably not really know it just looking at me outside of the gym in regular clothes simply b/c i was not born with and will never have rippling muscles; it took me a long time to be at peace with that. i exercise b/c i enjoy how it makes me feel. i am toned but no matter how many pounds of iron i lift, i'll never be ripped. so i can't see who the models are on the covers you put on your post but if they are on the covers of the mags i'd be willing to bet that no matter how big or small or real their boobs are, they can pack some heat! it is a bit silly though, you are right; the whole idea of trying to put the victorias secret/playboy genre in a sports magazine. |
