Practical guides for choosing and preparing for IRONMAN races, built on Find My Tris race data.

The Find My Tris blog has 2 practical guides to choosing an IRONMAN race. Each one is built on the same data as the race search, which currently covers 172 upcoming IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 and 5150 races.

The race lists inside the articles are generated from that data rather than typed by hand, so dates and course details stay in step with the official ironman.com race pages. Every race mentioned links to its Find My Tris page, with the date, course profiles and typical race-day temperatures, and from there to the official race page to enter.
