Week 31
These are AI-generated images of Seine.
$1.5 billion dollars and nine years later, the French government STILL has not yet achieved their goal of cleaning up the water that flows through the Largest City & Capital of France - Paris. Yes, there were tons of NGBs, prominent athletes & voices of triathlon that said for YEARS hosting the triathlon & marathon swimming events in River Seine was an absolute trainwreck of an idea. Still, the Paris 2024 team said; press on!
Now, itās the eleventh hour; and what will they do? Two practice swims cancelled, high E. coli levels and a postponed menās triathlon - will pushing the event to Wednesday be enough to let the swim (and bike, run) go on?
In this weekās email:
Olympic Spoilers: With the time change, most Olympic events are contested while the US is fast asleep; which means most of us are catching up with watching the tidbits on YouTube. But, NBC is spoiling the unknown with click-bait titles on who won.
Get Some Motivation: āYou canāt win them all, but you should sure as hell try. Bring on the odds, play like you mean it. Because if you donāt want to win, congrats. Youāve already lost.ā - NIKE
BIG Injury: No - this isnāt a report of an athlete injury - itās of Colin Jost, SNL star & Olympic Surfing commentator. He injured his foot on coral while out on his surfboard and is keeping his fans in the know with his scratches.
šWatch a Cadence-recommended Vid: Snoop Dogg has by far completed the most āSide Questsā EVER. Not only is he a GOAT in the rap music world - heās now become Team USAāsā¦unofficial mascot? Weāre here for the Snoop content, but weāre staying for the slayying MP.
Post of the Week:
Bonus Content: Sam Long in LAST PLACE - still stops to kiss his fiancƩ and son.
Race Results of the Week: presented by Sportstats.One
Tidbits
Crossing over to Cycling: Just a professional triathlete, road bike & a dreamā¦to win Tour de France - a long-term plans that culminates in a hopeful win in 2028.
ā LCB DNF: For the first time in her 10+ year professional career, Lucy Charles-Barclay DNFs in a triathlon at the London T100 this weekend. Coming off the bike in podium position, she slowed and eventually dropped out on the run - unclear of exactly WHY she DNFed - nothing has been made official as of sending this email.
ā Culinary Vision at the Olympics: The Olympics are 99.9% about the athletics, and admittedly, .1% about the fanfare off of the proverbial courts. Chase Sapphire holders can gain exclusive access to one of the hardest reservations to get in the world - all thanks to the VISA x Chase Sapphire collab.
ā Bikini Rules: Sand volleyball is a highly watched sport; but really what are the rules on uniformsā¦bikinis only?
ā Purple Track: Why is the Olympics track purple? Itās got a secret, recycled, ingredient - mollusks from the Mediterranean Sea. Purple is also color of royalty - and thereās a lot of already-crowned athletes from Olympics past that are going to take to the track in just a few days.
