	Certainly discussion of bicycles and bicycling as they relate 
	to triathlons is welcome here.  The information exchanged may 
	be of use to the wider audience of bicyclists that inhabit this
	conference.  

	One way to see if there is enough interest to sustain a seperate
	triathlon conference is to create the conference, advertise it
	in various places, and see who shows up.  If there is interest,
	the conference will grow.  If not, you can kill it off.  Be
	sure to remember where you announced!

As an avid triathlete for the last 4 years, I would love to see a means
for us to discuss this topic. The bicycle notes conference has been a great 
source for me to get answers to my bike questions. But do you really think 
that there are enough of us to set up a viable Tri conference ? I quess the 
only way to know for sure is to try (tri?).

85.3Super, will I find it there ?EUREKA::REG_BTue Jun 24 1986 14:053
    
    	YES !
    
85.4Go for it. GLIVET::DOYLEJD DoyleTue Jun 24 1986 17:4810
    Yes.  Technical questions might still go to the specialized (BIKES,
    RUNNING...)files, but there are many questions that a biker might
    not handle as well as a fellow tri-person.  My biker friends say
    "...ride more, ride more..."  
    
    Any triathlete knows that a man's gotta find time to run...

85.5Let's start a conferenceSUPER::CONNELLWed Jun 25 1986 10:127
    The number of replies here (in a short time) suggests to me that
    we should try out a TRIATHLON conference.
    
    I will hunt around for a host system.  Any suggestions?

85.6YES, YES, YES - I need all the help I can get.NUWAVE::HATCHERWed Jun 25 1986 10:5116
    I agree that we should try a conference for triathlons.  I've done
    1-2/yr for the past four years and with the exception of Triathlon
    magazine feel that I am training in a vacuum,  I would very much
    like to hear what other triathletes have to say.
    
    BTW - I'm not a very good triathlete but I really like the excitement
    and the feeling of accomplishment of finishing a "short course"
    (1/25/6.2 usually in about 3:05).
    
    I say go for it - I don't care where it is located.

    PS Any one else signed up for the Bud Light Tri in Natick on August
    24?
    
85.7Go Triathlons !!SUPER::CONNELLWed Jun 25 1986 14:135
    I did the Natick Bud Light last year, and plan to do it again this
    year.

    The triathlon conference will be opened on GLIVET::TRIATHLON.
    
    We'll see how it goes...

Does anybody know what the story is with the Triathlon conference on
Glivet ? I've been trying to access it for the last week but keep getting 
errors.

85.10Maybe DECNETSUPER::CONNELLThu Jul 17 1986 13:486
    Many people from different locations have been using it.  I would
    look at your DECNET routing to GLIVET.  Can you send MAIL there,
    or do a SET HOST?

    The Triathlon conference is on ABBOTT::TRIATHLON
    
    Greg Welch (Aussie) won the world championship.  Pigg wasn't in the 
    top 3.
