1. Should I wear a wetsuit?
It depends on if wetsuits are allowed in the race. Most of the age group races allow wetsuits. In this case, by all means, use a wetsuit! You will not only be able to withstand cold water, but you will also be given the gift of buoyancy by your apparel- which will make it a lot easier to get through the swim.
2. Can I swim another stroke besides freestyle?
Yes. Although freestyle is the fastest and most common stroke in triathlon, beginners may benefit from an occasionally few strokes of backstroke or breastroke to regain their breath.

How much time do I need to train for my specific event? Is usually one of the first questions I am asked as a triathlon coach.
The question is easy to answer after having a discussion with the athlete in regards to current training routines and specific race goals with a simple closing comment "LIFE HAPPENS".
I explain to my clients that as a majority we are not pro triathletes and we don't get paid to race, in fact we pay to race. One must realistically look at how much time and commitment you have to dedicate to training.
After setting a plan and training schedule, I then clarify with the athle More...

www.cyclingnews.com has a great follow-up article, the results and some pictures for the Giro di Lombardia on October 14th, 2007.
"Italian Paolo Bettini (Quick-Step) took absolute control of the Giro di Lombardia to power away to his first victory since becoming World Champion in Salzburg three weeks ago. The Italian pushed the pace on Madonna del Ghisallo, dropped everyone on Civiglio and confirmed his win on San Fermo. Arriving in Como solo, Bettini is the first World Champion to win the 'race of the falling leaves' since Oscar Camenzind in 1998.

www.cyclingnews.com reports on Ivan Basso's moving to the Discovery Team.
"After the team spent a year of searching for direction, Armstrong has seemingly handed over his captain role to the only Italian on the team. Basso continued, "He said to me, 'it is better late than never. This is your team. Here you can win the Tour.' For me it is the start of new adventure, one that I hope will finally get me the maillot jaune. I am emotional, like a few years ago when I switched from Fassa Bortolo to CSC. But, with respect to that transfer, this time it More...
