Jason McIntyre raced the Xterra World Championship last month in Maui, Hawaii. We've caught up with him to hear about the race, as well as his experience with off-road triathlon. Off-road triathlon, of which Xterra is one branded category, is a niche in multi-sport that is not as familiar to many of us as biking and running on pavement.

I first became interested in off-road triathlon in 2015 after getting back into mountain biking after a 10 year hiatus. I raced my first triathlon in 2002 duri...

April Smith and Christian Aguilar ran the streets of New York City this past Sunday. Over 54,000 participants were in the race. From start to finish, temperatures stayed around 50 degrees with only a slight breeze and 50% humidity—nearly perfect running weather you might say. 

April, who had a new personal record (PR) marathon time, says that running in San Antonio prepared her well for the hilly course. She felt great, even during inclines that other runners classified as 'steep'. One challenge was the sheer number of runners. Navigating around...

Team Paragon had over 30 athletes racing this past weekend in Waco, Texas for the Ironman 70.3, which made us the third largest triathlon club competing in the event.
