AI usage has skyrocketed in the past 2 years, with many commonplace apps and software now featuring an AI integration in some form.  With the rapid development and possibilities unlocked with this powerful technology, it can be tempting to go full steam ahead with implementing AI use into your day-to-day business activities. However, new technologies come with new risks that need to be understood and mitigated before any potential incidents. In this episode Mark Philip, Information Security Manager at Cloud Direct, joins Ian to discuss emerging AI risks and how you can build AI resilience into your existing practices. You'll learn ·      Who is Mark? ·      Who is Cloud Direct? ·      How can you assess your current level of AI resilience? ·      What are some of the key threats that AI systems currently face, and how can you mitigate these? ·      How can you utilise AI to enhance your security? ·      What is best practice when responding to an AI related security incident?   Resources ·      Cloud Direct ·      Isologyhub    In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – We invite Cloud Direct's Information Security Manager, Mark Philip, onto the show to discuss AI risks and how to build in AI resilience into your existing security practices.   [03:25] Who is Mark Philip?: While his primary role is as an Information Security Manager at Cloud Direct, a little known fact about him is that he is an amateur triathlete! At London earlier in 2024, he was lucky enough to bump into Alistair Brownlee, who is the UK's two time gold olympic medalist in triathlon. [05:10] Who are Cloud Direct? – Founded in 2003, Cloud Direct are a Microsoft Azure expert MSP that is the top of Microsoft accreditation that any partner can hold, putting them in the top 5% of Microsoft partners globally. They offer consultancy and professional managed services, specialising in Microsoft Cloud, which is all underpinned with security across the whole Microsoft stack. They also assist with digital transformation and modernisation. [06:30] Assessing the current AI risk landscape: Ian points out that a recent report from the Capgemini Research Institute found that 97% or organisations are using generative AI. With this increase in AI use, there is a correlation with an increase in security incidents related to AI. Mark adds that this technology is so new, with a lot of larger software companies such as Microsoft pushing AI elements into their tools. So there is a learning curve involved with utilising the technology. There is also a lack of Risk Assessment being done in relation to AI, not a lot of though is going into the use of AI on a day-to-day basis. If you're using an AI platform, you need to ask yourself: What is this platform actually doing with the data I'm inputting? There is also the fact that shady individuals are already leveraging this technology with the likes of deep fakes, bad bots and more sophisticated phishing schemes – and the harsh truth is that they're going to get better at it over time. [08:20] What is AI resilience and why is it so important? – AI resilience is about equipping businesses with the processes that control the use and deployment of AI usage, so that they can anticipate and mitigate any AI risks effectively. Similar to ISO Standards, this would involve a risk-based approach. However, this will look very different depending on your business and how you are using AI. For example, the risks of someone using AI to generate a transcript of meeting notes will be much lower in comparison to a healthcare company using complex sets of data with AI to synthesize new medicines. So, if you are using AI you need to consider what the inherent risks could be, and that would be dependent on the data you're processing i.e. is it sensitive data? And then factor in if the software is publicly available (such as ChatGPT), or it is a closed model under your control? Asking these types of questions will give you a more realistic outlook on the risk landscape you face. [10:35] How can a business assess their current level of AI resilience? AI is here to stay, so you won't be able to avoid if forever. So first, you need to embrace and understand it, and that includes creating a clear picture of your use cases. Mark states they did this exercise internally at Cloud Direct when they were starting to use Microsoft's Co-Pilot. They asked themselves: ·      What sort of data is the software interacting with? ·      What data are we putting into it? ·      How do Microsoft manage the program and related security? ·      Are Mircrosoft storing any of that data? It's not just about the security either, you need to understand why your using AI and if it will actually be to your benefit. A lot of people are using it because it's new and shiny, but if it's not actively helping you achieve your business goals, then it's more of a distraction than anything else. For those looking for additional guidance on AI policies, risks and resilience, there's a lot of guidance provided by both ISO and the NCSC. ISO 42001 in particular is useful for both people using AI and developers creating AI. If you're stuck on where to start, a Gap Analysis is a fantastic tool to see where you are currently and what gaps you need to bridge in your security to cover any AI usage, and to see how well you are complying with current legal requirements (the EU AI Act is now in effect!). Another tool is a Risk Assessment. You may not process what many would consider sensitive data, such as healthcare information, but even if you store and hold customer data, then you need to ensure that any AI you use doesn't pose a risk to it. [14:30] How can AI improve security and resilience? – Sticking with Microsoft as an example, as they are releasing a lot of AI driven tools, they can be used to fill gaps that humans may not have the time to do. Once example of this is monitoring and sending security alerts, previously a system may have just sent this to a human member of staff to resolve, but now AI security tools can act on those alerts on your behalf. So, if you have limited IT resources, this could be a fantastic addition to your security set-up. It also eliminates the lag of human response, and AI can look at things in a way a human wouldn't think to.   [17:55] How do people stay ahead of the curve in the evolving AI landscape? – You should be using the myriad of resources available to learn about AI, as there are webinars, social media feeds, blogs and videos released constantly. Microsoft in particular are offering a comprehensive feed of information relating to AI, the risks and new technologies in development. The key is to understand AI before integrating it into your business. Don't just jump at the new shiny toys being advertised to you, go to reputable sources such as the ICO, NCSC, Cyber Essentials and regulatory bodies to learn about the technology, the benefits it can bring in addition to the risks you need to mitigate against. Mark can vouch for Microsoft's though leadership in this field, as they keep all of their customers up-to-date with all of their AI related developments. Cloud Direct themselves are also putting out some great content, so don't forget to check out their resources. If you are already utilising Microsoft's tools, the Cloud Direct can help explain how their new tools can apply to your business. If you're looking for assistance with ISO 42001, then Blackmores can help you with implementing a robust AI Management System. [21:40] What is best practice when responding to an AI related incident? – To be honest, there's no reason to not treat it like any other security incident. We've already adapted to more sophisticated security risks as a result of the move towards home and hybrid working over the pandemic. This simply another stage along in this ever changing security landscape. You should treat it like assessing any new step, and you likely have all the processes in place for analysing risk already in place, simply apply them to the usage of AI and put in place the necessary governance based on your findings. Standards such as ISO 20000 IT Service Management and ISO 22301 Business Continuity are fantastic tools of you're new to this sort of incident response planning. If you've already been certified to these standards, then you likely have the following in place already: ·      Risk Assessments ·      Business Impact Assessments ·      Business Continuity Plans ·      Recovery Plans Simply add AI as an additional risk factor into your existing management system and update the necessary documentation to include actions and considerations for its use. If you update your Business Continuity and recovery plans, then make sure to test them! Don't just assume that they will work, put them to the test and adjust until you're comfortable that in a real incident, everyone in the business knows how to react, what to communicate and how to get back up and running. [24:00] What are Mark's predictions for the field of AI resilience? – People need to look at the opportunities in utilising AI, a lot of people are using it without really understanding it so there's a lot of learning still to do. So, he expects to see a lot of businesses fully grasping how they can use AI to their advantage in the coming years. With that comes the challenge of ensuring it's integrated safely, with the right governance embedded to ensure its safe and ethical usage across entire organisations. Another big challenge is the handling data privacy within AI. Scams are only going to get more complex as AI develops, and you need to ensure your business can protect against that as much as possible. Also businesses should carefully consider what AI platforms they choose to use. Ensure you understand what data is being input and stored, and the level of control you have over it. All of this to say, there are a lot of massive benefits of using AI and you should shy away from it. But, you need to ensure you are using it safely and ethically. [27:30] What is Mark's book recommendation? – The hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy [28:45] What is Mark's favorite quote? – “I have a bad feeling about this…” – Star Wars Want to learn more about Cloud Direct?

Business of Sport Ep.54: Alistair Brownlee, Double Olympic Gold Triathlete, ‘It's About Medals Not Money'

Today, we welcome a British sporting legend. That term can get thrown around a lot, but as a multiple Olympic, World and European Champion, Alistair Brownlee is one of the greatest triathletes of all time. As you hopefully now know with this show, the sporting success is only one side of our guests. It's what they are doing alongside their elite performance that drives our intrigue, and Alistair is far more than the sum of his medals. The money in athletics and triathlon is nothing like the money available in other major sports, and therefore it can often be difficult to carve out a career in it, let alone look at how to invest and create value for yourself off the back of medals and titles. But Alistair took a different approach, and has been educating and investing throughout much of his professional career, heeding the advice of his coach who told him ‘if you invest this money now, that could be a year you don't have to work when you retire'. From giving up a medicine degree at Cambridge to commit to triathlon to winning double Olympic gold, including a famous London 2012 victory, this is an athlete who understands the true value a life in sport can bring to business. Newly retired, how does an elite performer fill the void left by regular sporting competition? In his own words, “I've had such an amazing career in sport and now I'm really excited about trying to be successful in another sphere”. On today's show we discuss: Sport over Education? Do you always have to sacrifice education to pursue a career at the top end of sport?  How did Alistair decide that he would chase the dream of becoming a professional triathlete over his medicine degree at Cambridge? What sacrifices do elite athletes have to make in the pursuit of success in their given sport? Do they view it as a sacrifice? As an athlete it is important to have things in your life that are not related to sport, and why it doesn't mean you are not committed if you do. Finances of Athletics  Is there enough money in professional triathlon to make it your full time job? What are the financial rewards on offer for winning events and performing at the highest possible level? How do sponsorships work? A more niche sport makes it harder to sign big deals; how did Alistair and his brother Jonny break the mould and sign a high profile contract with BT? What advice was Alistair given by his coach that encouraged him to invest some of his winnings and not spend them? Winning Olympic gold in London thrust him into the limelight in a short space of time. What changes when you achieve this kind of success? A life after sport: It's often said that athletes die twice, the first time being when they retire. Having made the announcement at the end of last year, what is next for Alistair? How important is it to prepare for your life after sport while you are still competing and not waiting until you finish? The rise of ‘Ultra' competitions and the attraction of finding new challenges in competition as well as business. “I've had such an amazing career in sport and now I'm really excited about trying to be successful in another sphere” Our Partners: Orreco  https://www.orreco.ai Scan.com https://uk.scan.com/

Today on the podcast we are joined by Alistair Brownlee, Double Olympic Triathlon Champion - to talk about his incredible career and the extreme mental discipline that got him to the very top of athletics. It's his first in depth interview since he announced his retirement.Alistair Brownlee is the only athlete in history to hold two Olympic titles in the individual triathlon event, having won gold medals in both the 2012 and the 2016 Olympic Games. He is also a four-time World Champion in triathlon.Famously, his younger brother Jonny Brownlee is also a decorated triathlete. The Brownlee brothers were considered the dominant male Olympic distance triathletes of the 2010s - often competing together. In 2016, Alistair famously spotted his brother suffering from exhaustion and pushed him across the line in the final stretch of the race that he had been leading. Alistair Brownlee is widely regarded as one of the greatest male athletes ever to have lived. Today Alistair is building a new chapter to his career focused on a range of new ventures, building on his on decades of experience working in sports. We are also very lucky to count Alistair as an investor in Giant's funds.In this conversation, we talk about why relying on willpower is a recipe for failure, what you can learn from elite athletes, nature vs nurture for excellence, and the characteristics that define Olympic champions and top founders.

20 years ago Jack Maitland and I were asked by British Triathlon to run one of the Regional Talent ID Programmes in the North of England. The brief was to find talented young boys and girls who were good swimmers and runners and who might turn out to be exceptional triathletes. We didn't do too badly with the two brothers (c'mon, you know who they are!!). Also in that squad was a young lady called Jess Towl. Jess was in the squad for 3-4 years and then left to train in Australia. On returning she joined the performance squad in Loughborough. Things didn't quite work out as planned so she left to teach swimming and turned herself into a very successful CrossFit Games competitor. As a triathlete, Jess didn't have the physique or the strength for CrossFit and, as she explains, it was a long and arduous, but very rewarding, journey. She now works in Dubai as a coach to both CrossFit athletes and Triathletes. We talk about the differences in training between the two sports,  learning to perform olympic lifts, having a performance mindset, owning a CrossFit world record and how she is rebuilding herself after a catastrophic shoulder injury.   Enjoy the show! Who knows, you might find inspiration to change sports or just to start lifting weights for your triathlon performance. Some of the topics we cover include: Being part of the same triathlon talent ID programme as Jonny & Alistair Brownlee (3:00) Swimming or weightlifting - it starts with technique, technique, technique - (24:00) The benefits of a performance mindset when moving to a new sport (25:30) Different approaches to nutrition between triathlon & CrossFit (27:00) Owning a CrossFit world record (39:30) Double unders (41:00) To be good at CrossFit you need to be good at recovery (56:00) When weightlifting goes wrong - dealing with a bad shoulder injury (59:00) Skydiving and the Happy Hormone cocktail (1:03) Sleep trackers, gadgets and why you need to learn how to judge your own effort levels (1:21:00)   To find out more about Jess you can find her on Instagram at jesstowl   Jes coaches Triathletes and Crossfitters at InnerFight in Dubai.

I wanted to re-share this epic episode from July 23, 2021 (episode #82)   If you're like me, you've loved the Olympics since you can remember. I've always enjoyed watching the best in the world battle it out on the big stage ... none more so than the sport of Triathlon. I've always wondered what it takes to win on that special day, and what it must feel like crossing that finish line knowing that you are the Olympic champion, and how does that heavy medal affect the rest of your life?   In this episode I have all of Triathlons men's gold medalists on the show. Five Gold and one Silver between the four of them. Simon Whitfield, Hamish Carter, Jan Frodeno, and Alistair Brownlee.   Men that I have raced and trained with, men that have conquered the world, and have been heroes to their respective countries. All of them I admire and would call mates, the best men you could ever share a beer with ... all-around top blokes.   They've all been on the show at least once. You can find their past episodes on your podcast app of choice. But never have they all been together on the one show. I'm feeling very honored that they have all agreed to come on, and amazed that we were able to coordinate times from all corners of the world.   In this episode, each of the Olympic Champions shares their stories, what they were thinking the days leading into the race? What was going through their head at the pivotal moment of the race? When did they feel like they had it won and what was the initial feeling they each had as they crossed the line knowing they were the Olympic Champion. Jan Frodeno's answer will make you laugh. They each describe how the Gold medal has affected their lives. Their answers may surprise you.   This has to be one of the greatest podcast episodes ever. What a thrill it was for me to chat with all of these champions.   Timestamps 13:09 - What were the emotions and feelings for each of these professional athletes 10 days out from their own Olympics campaign? You need to calm down and trust the work you've done 18:43 - Jan Frodeno describes his pre Olympic campaign and how he was thinking 10 days prior to racing. Dreams do come true. Letting go, and letting the race happen 22:51 - Alistair competed in London and The Rio Olympics and describes how he approached both start-lines. Alistair went into London as the key favourite, with an enormous amount of pressure and self belief. 27:39 - Simon Whitfield describes his pre-race prep for the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the emotion of running down Macquarie Street towards the finish line. I wasn't there to win, I was there to perform 29:41 - The 4 lads explain the final sprints and how they each found something deeper towards the finish line. The simple fact, they all trained heavily for a sprint finish and were prepared. This was the moment that I trained for 48:23 - How did winning a gold medal at an Olympics affect each of their lives? You don't know how to feel 1:06:04 - As this is a repeat episode we finish with the lads predictions for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Remembering that these were held in the middle of the COVID pandemic with no crowds. In hindsight, were the boys close in each of their predictions?

They're what's made triathlon and it's just a privilege to go up against Jan, Ali, Kristian. They literally made the sport for us guys. I'm quite emotional about it.   Haug flies home for women's victory Anne Haug surged clear in the women's race with just 12 out of the 26 men's starters clocking a faster run leg than the German two-time Olympian.   Lucy Charles-Barclay had a lead of over a minute and a half as she transitioned off the bike, but Haug took over less than midway through the run and gave her British rival a respectful tap on the side as she went past.   When Australia's Ashleigh Gentle - another two-time Olympian - moved ahead of Charles-Barclay into second place, she was over a minute down on Haug who was fairly powering on at the front.   The 2019 Ironman world champion won by a two and a half minutes in the end, crossing the line in 3:38:00.   Haug invoked the spirit of Forrest Gump in her post-race interview, saying, "I compete against the best of the world and that really pushes me to get the best out of me.   "I had a fantastic race, I must say. My swim was OK, I felt very strong on the bike, and I knew I could run pretty quick but you never know. It's the first race of the year against the best in the world, you never know where you are, it's always a box of chocolates. I tried my best and you always have to believe that you can make it."   The next PTO Tour triathlon is the US Open in Milwaukee on 4-5 August.

Full details on the timing, how to watch and more in our pre-event explainer.   What I want to do here is take a look ahead, and outline some of the potential factors which could change the direction of the race on Saturday, for both the Pro Men and Pro Women.   Coming so early in the typical racing year, it is very unusual to have such a depth of field in early May. Many of the favourites – Ryf, Charles-Barclay, Blummenfelt, Ditlev, Brownlee, Frodeno as examples – have not yet raced at all. Some – Haug, West, Sodaro, Jewett – arrive with confidence, while others have perhaps not hit the heights they wanted in their limited races this year.   That all suggests strongly that this one is unlikely to go simply to form and rankings. Despite the best experience and preparations, expect at least some of the top names to talk post-race that their race sharpness was missing.   How big will Lucy's swim lead be? As is now familiar, Great Britain's Lucy Charles-Barclay will almost certainly be the first athlete to complete the 2km swim at Figueretas Beach. In the absence of Taylor Knibb – who managed to stay with the Brit in Dallas last year – she's probably going to be solo through most of the two laps on Saturday.   Lotte Wilms (70.3 World Champs) and Sara Perez Sala (Challenge Miami) have shown the potential to perhaps come closest in the water, but the gap to some of the big-name favourites (Ashleigh Gentle, Daniela Ryf, Paula Finlay and co) will be the one of the first points of interest.   Of note, is that LCB has spent four weeks training consistently at altitude in Font-Romeu, France to prepare for this race. Her altitude block immediately prior to the 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship helped deliver one of the greatest middle-distance performances ever. If Saturday starts with a gap of significantly more than a minute over those with genuine winning potential, then it'll be advantage Lucy less than 30 minutes into the racing.   Lucy Charles-Barclay / IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship 2021 Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images for IRONMAN Where's Kristian and Magnus? For the men's swim, the chances of a lone athlete breaking clear are remote zero. You would expect the likes of Aaron Royle, Alistair Brownlee, Jan Frodeno, Daniel Baekkegard, Ben Kanute and Kyle Smith to be among those within 10/15 seconds entering T1. Will the in-form Jason West make that cut here?   Key questions will be: How close will IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion, Krsitian Blummenfelt be? And what deficit will Denmark's Magnus Ditlev have to make up? The Dane won't be at the front, but is a better swimmer than I think many give him credit for. If he enters T1 within say a minute or so of the leaders, he's right where he needs to be. Significantly less, and he'll be smiling as he starts dropping the watt bombs on the bike!   Group dynamics Once we are onto the bikes – and with memories of 2022 still vivid – how groups on the bike are monitored and policed will, I think, be key to how the race plays out. Nobody wants to see drafting penalties issued – but equally, we want to see racing within the rules too.   That's as much to do with the athletes, as it is the Technical Officials.   Looking at the bike course, it's basically a straight line, out-and-back course, which starts with a steady incline of just over 5km. The latter, perhaps, may help thin the field out early, while the nature of the route should help make maintaining a legal distance easy (and easier to spot).   We'll see how this plays out – and hopefully we won't even need to reference it post-race.   Breakaway? Who'll make – or be able to make – a move on the bike? I don't think that's going to come via bike handling skills – this is not Nice, France for example – but if we take the men first, who'll be able to get away? The lack of Sam Laidlow means one less ‘go from the gun' athlete with proven bike ability, but it feels unlikely that Brownlee, Kanute, Frodeno and co. will be playing it safe, with the likes of Blummenfelt and Ditlev probably not far behind.   Kristian is confident he can win on the run if needed. That remains to be proven, but nobody is going to be waiting around to make it any easier for him. I think that points to any lead group from the swim being whittled down via sustained pressure, but if I had to make a prediction, I think we'll see a small and very select group entering T2 separated by 10-15 seconds.   In typical fashion, I expect Lucy Charles-Barclay to lead for at least a significant proportion of this race, solo. If she's on St George 2021 form, that could be all the way to the finish line. As one of the few top female athletes not to have raced this year, she's been relatively quiet in media headline terms – but her competition will surely not have forgotten her abilities.   With some of the greatest runners we've ever seen in action here – Anne Haug, Chelsea Sodaro, Tamara Jewett and Emma Pallant-Browne – that all points to Daniela Ryf and Paula Findlay in particular leading the charge to join LCB up front. Without Taylor Knibb as a potential partner at the front, if LCB finds Ryf and Findlay riding well and bridging up without those ‘runners', I think she'll be more than content with that company.   Who's got the run legs? We've talked at length in the lead-up to this race about the strength-in-depth of the fields. We know we have some of the best runners in the history of the sport racing, but who can produce it against this level of competition, especially when the swim and bike will surely be raced in aggressive fashion in both the men's and women's fields? I don't foresee anyone starting their 18km feeling fresh – remember what happened to Blummenfelt, Laidlow and Brownlee at the Canadian Open?!   Most peoples' wildcard for the men's race is Jason West, for example. A well-earned position, courtesy of his form this year at CLASH Miami and 70.3 Oceanside, each producing headline-grabbing run splits. Will he be in a position at T2 to put that to potentially race-winning use? Frodeno and Brownlee are two of the most decorated athletes of all time, but what have they got left in their running legs?   Similar situation for the women. Tamara Jewett's run prowess is not new, but Oceanside was the first time that had resulted in a win against some of the biggest names in the sport. This is another step up. Anne Haug has used her run speed to podium in almost every non-drafting race she starts – is Tamara there, just yet?   https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/elite/pto-tour-european-open-start-list-bib-numbers-pro-men https://www.tri247.com/triathlon-news/elite/pto-tour-european-open-start-list-bib-numbers-pro-women   Taylor Knibb on stress fracture rehab By Jonathan Turner News Director 20 Apr 2023 American star Taylor Knibb is back firing on all cylinders after an extended injury layoff.   She launched her YouTube channel this week (video embedded below) with a detailed rundown of the healing process – and frighteningly for her rivals she appears to have produced that astonishing performance to win the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship last October in spite of her foot issues.   Talking through the timeline and the details of the injury which has kept her on the sidelines since November's WTCS finale in Abu Dhabi, she explained how the problem first emerged: “I was prepping for WTCS Leeds [which took place in early June] and I felt something in my foot and was diagnosed with a stress reaction.   “I was told two to six weeks and you'll be back, it's really minor. One surgeon even said I wouldn't have even stopped you from running with that minor an edema.   “But it wasn't healing and finally at 11 weeks I saw a doctor and he said you can start running now because if it's not healed, it's not going to heal.   “So I started racing in the fall – I raced Dallas, Cagliari and then the 70.3 Worlds, Bermuda and Abu Dhabi.   And that quintet of races saw some superb performances – she picked up a second, third and fourth in the WTCS events, led for much of the PTO US Open in Dallas before being overhauled by Ashleigh Gentle and then produced that masterclass in St George where she left the world's best trailing in her wake.   But taking up the story after that busy spell of racing, Knibb revealed: “Then I took a little break and it turns out that my foot was not healed. So I got an MRI and it was now a stress fracture, with a CT scan showing a fracture line.   “So then my options were I could rest it fully and hope it would heal and that I think would be eight weeks of nothing in a boot – no weight bearing, no training whatsoever.   “Or I could get surgery and I opted for that and got a screw put in my fifth metatarsal on January 3rd.” From that point onwards it's all been about the recovery process, something that the 25-year-old freely admits has been “very challenging”.   She explained: “Because the incision point is directly to the bone I had to be very careful and wait until it had healed before starting swimming again or doing anything.   “I did get to do strength training with Erin [Carson] which helped my sanity a lot – I wanted to go in the day after surgery, I think she said no to that but it was maybe two days after I was back working with her.   “It was four weeks before I was cleared to do some easy swimming and biking and built it up gradually.   “But I'm back fully swimming and biking and adding the running in now.”   She goes into detail on the video about how even getting back outside has been a big boost and what she might do differently in the future, saying: “It was tough but I think that I have learned a lot from it and I think if I were to do it again I would focus on what you need to do [rather than what you can't].   “It was very challenging and I'm very grateful for the people around me because I know I was not fun to be around some days. But it's a period of time that's hopefully closed now.”   The defence of her 70.3 Worlds title in Finland in late August is the big priority for 2023 and we look forward to seeing her back on the start line soon – and hopefully producing more YouTube videos too!     What's New in the 303: Bicycle Colorado Event Support April 28 at 12:30 PM  · The Lookout Mountain Hill Climb is in danger of cancellation due to low pre-registration numbers.

The property was acquired in 2008, construction began in 2011, and the track opened in 2013.   In 2013, a week away from opening, 70m of the track was destroyed by a tornado. Then, after a month's worth of repairs, lightning struck in the same spot. That was the month of the disastrous Boulder flood.   Over its 5 years of operation, the velodrome hosted numerous national and international cycling events and was a popular destination for anyone from Olympians to amateur cyclists and families – really anyone with the need for speed.   The facility was put up for sale in 2019 and has since fallen into disrepair. In 2020, a group of dedicated cycling enthusiasts launched a campaign to resurrect the velodrome and restore it to its former glory. Their efforts have included fundraising through GoFundMe, seeking sponsorships, and recruiting volunteers to help with the restoration work.   The goal of the campaign is to create a world-class cycling destination that will attract riders from all over the world and help to promote the sport of cycling. With the support of the community, the Boulder Valley Velodrome is poised to once again become a vibrant center of cycling culture and competition.   The Boulder Valley Velodrome's story is, and will always be, a story of passion, perseverance, and community.   Out of the 26 velodromes in the country, the Boulder Valley Velodrome is one of just two tracks that meet Olympic standards.   For press inquiries, please contact info@bouldervalleyvelodrome.org.   Boulder 70.3 - Don't Delay!

When we think triathlon, we might think Ironman, Hawaii, the Olympics, or the local event organizer down the road who puts on a fun competition every third Sunday in August. All of those are, in fact, triathlon. But triathlon is also a business, with money changing hands on a daily basis and an ever-evolving answer to the question: Who owns triathlon?   It's easy to think that some brands are mega-monsters eating up everything in sight, while others are scrappy upstarts simply bootstrapping themselves into existence. In many instances a perceived battle of David versus Goliath is actually Goliath versus Goliath II. The reality is that answering, who owns triathlon is tricky. To help, we've put together the most recent ownership information that's available at the time of this writing just below. Not a business whiz? We've also created a glossary of terms far below to help you translate.   The 2023 Barkley Marathons has kicked off and here are the best resources to follow the event March 14, 2023 The 2023 Barkley Marathons kicked off today and we can't wait to find out if there is a winner this year. Below we have included some great resources to keep you up to date and a few facts about the event you might find interesting.   Great links to follow for this years race:   Follow the live action and humorous commentary on Twitter at https://twitter.com/keithdunn   Information about each of this year's participants – https://runningmagazine.ca/trail-running/whos-who-at-the-barkley-marathons-2023/   Good site for updates and information – https://run247.com/running-news/trail/barkley-marathons-2023-live-tracking-latest-results   The movie – http://barkleymovie.com/   Weird and Interesting Facts About the Barkley Marathons: Barkley Marathons is an ultramarathon trail race held each year in Frozen Head State Park in Morgan County, Tennessee. With 54,200 feet of accumulated vertical climb (and descent), it is considered to be one of the most challenging ultramarathons ever. The race is limited to 40 participants, and entry is by invitation only. No website and good luck finding out how to register. Potential entrants must complete an essay on “Why I Should be Allowed to Run in the Barkley,” and pay a $1.60 application fee. If accepted, an entrant receives a “letter of condolence.” The course consists of five 20–mile loops, with a total distance of approximately 100 miles (or longer) that must be completed in 60 hours with every other loop run in the opposite direction. There is also a cut off time for every lap. This year's event knocked out 7 runners on the first lap. Runners who complete three circuits of the loop (60-miles) in under 40 hours are said to have completed a “Fun Run.” The 100-mile race has only been completed within the official cut-off 18 times by 15 runners since the first event in 1995. There have been no finishers since 2016. John Kelly won and is racing this year for the sixth time. No women have finished (yet!), but in 2022 Jasmin Paris completed the 3 loop Fun Run in the designated time, becoming the second woman to achieve the feat. The event date is not made public and starts any time from midnight to noon on race day. One hour till race start is signaled by blowing a conch. The race officially begins when the race director lights a cigarette. Runners must use their orienteering skills to navigate the unmarked course with a map and basic watch (no GPS). Competitors must find between 9 and 14 books along the course and remove the page corresponding to the runner's race number from each book as proof of completion. When a runner drops out of the race, a bugler plays “Taps” upon their return to the start/end point.   Last Weekend Now: Clash Miami, Super League Arena Games Sursee, and a Lack of Live Coverage MARCH 13, 2023 BRAD CULP    We had high-profile races on two continents last weekend, and just like the weekend before, those of us who have the resilience to actually watch triathlon could only watch one of them. Here's what you couldn't watch at Clash Miami, and what you probably didn't watch (but should have) at round two of the Super League Arena Games in Switzerland.   Jason West's recent run splits have been off the charts. He ran 51:13 for 10.5 miles on the unique run course around Homestead-Miami Speedway, which was three minutes faster than any other man in the top 10. That includes guys like Daniel Baekkegard, Sam Long and David McNamee, who are three of the better runners in the sport. That means he ran 4:53 per mile 10 and a half times, and it puts West in a very elite category of triathlon runners, most of which will be racing for a medal in Paris next summer.   Competing in only her second full professional season, 23-year-old Brit Lucy Byram is another British Lucy we'll be hearing a lot from over the next few seasons. She's a bit reminiscent of Taylor Knibb, with no weak discipline at a very young age. Byram is particularly powerful on the bike, and that's where she and Denmark's Sif Bendix Madsen put the race out of contention for the rest of the field.   PRO Women 1. Lucy Byram (GBR) – 2:59:16 2. Sif Bendix Madsen (DEN) – 3:00:33 3. Pamella Oliveira (BRZ) – 3:01:38 4. Sara Perez Sala (ESP) – 3:03:52 5. Haley Chura (USA) – 3:04:07 6. Olivia Mitchell (IRL) – 3:07:24 7. Grace Alexander (USA) – 3:09:56 8. Holly Smith (USA) – 3:15:20   PRO Men 1. Jason West (USA) – 2:35:32 2. Tom Bishop (GBR) – 2:36:08 3. Daniel Bækkegård (DEN) – 2:37:04 4. Sam Long (USA) – 2:37:19 5. David McNamee (GBR) – 2:37:45 6. Youri Keulen (NED) – 2:39:03 7. Sam Appleton (AUS) – 2:40:07 8. Kieran Lindars (GBR) – 2:41:51   Are The Super League Arena Games The Most Exciting Show In Tri? Super League Arena Games Broadcast The Arena Games was a pandemic-inspired creation that appears to have legs beyond lockdown. The live broadcast—available for free on Super League's site or YouTube—was quite good and offers a new way to showcase the swim-bike-run. It's also a very easy venue to produce a live broadcast, relative to an Ironman that often takes place across multiple towns.   Clash Miami has a somewhat ideal venue for a live broadcast in a confined speedway built for broadcasting a live event, but it also has the problem of having to pay to use one of America's biggest and best speedways for an entire weekend. That's not cheap. And for a race that's trying to turn a profit, it's tough to invest in a live product if it's going to mean a net loss. A highlight show is better than nothing, but there's a big difference between live sports and not-live sports.   This comes after Ironman did not broadcast its African Championship in South Africa last weekend—a race in which Alistair Brownlee was going to be racing up until the last minute. Alistair Brownlee moves the live coverage needle. And there was a world-class field outside of the double Olympic champion.   Of the three race producers doing the best job of producing live TV, two have billionaire backing and one is the governing body of the sport. But Super League, PTO and World Triathlon have all invested heavily in the live side of the sport and they've created something that can—maybe—sell. PTO and Super League have secured impressive broadcast partnerships—mostly in Europe—and World Triathlon brings in a lot of sponsorship dollars and has great local broadcast partners at its biggest races.   Though a solid slate of 70.3 races are available through a partnership with Outside Watch this season, I'm not sure that Ironman can ever secure the kind of broadcast partnerships that make live coverage of their full-distance races a very profitable endeavor. An eight-hour show of people exercising—mostly alone—is a hard sell to major broadcast partners. Still, Ironman's live broadcast schedule is somewhat robust for this season. South Africa was just a strange one to be left out, given that they're trying to elevate the status of their regional championships. Live coverage is the utmost way to elevate professional athletes, so it was disappointing to see Ironman and Clash unable to make that happen in successive weeks.   What's New in the 303: A Q&A with the COBRAS and Karen Hornbostel Time Trial Series By Bill Plock   March 14th, 2023–You know it's Spring in the Colorado Cycling scene when the Karen Hornbostel Time Trail Series kicks off. This year marks the 32nd season for this storied series that kicks off March 29th. We talked with Larry Potter of the COBRAS to learn some history and find out what's new for 2023!   First off if you don't know what the genesis of the COBRAS name is; Colorado Bicycle Racing Association for Seniors (COBRAS!)   Learn more about the organization and the people who bring you this iconic Colorado event–on newly paved roads this year!   1. Why was Cobras started? Was there a void in bike racing that was leaving seniors out?   The Colorado Bicycle Racing Association for Seniors (COBRAS) cycling team was founded in 1993 by Herman Ponder, an accomplished racer, and Frank Schneider, a beginning racer as a developmental/racing club focused on individuals who love the sport of cycling and who already race or are interested in learning to race.   At the time there were not any clubs that catered to the over 39-year-old racers, just younger 18–39-year-old racers. This presented an opportunity for a club that focused on older racers who race or were interested in racing.   Over time the racer community changed with more racers who are in the senior categories. For the 2023 KHMTT over 65% of the registered racers are over 40 or older.   A few years ago, the COBRAS opened their membership criteria to include any person over 18 years old. At the time, COBRAS officially changed their name from Colorado Bicycle Racing Association for Seniors to just “COBRAS”.   The club today focuses on individuals who currently or previously raced or just enjoyed being with those who just enjoy the sport. The club has added several social events during the year , performs various community projects, and promotes the Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial series at Cherry Creek (KHMTT).   The majority of the funds earned from the KHMTT are donated to various not profits serving the cycling community including Bicycle Colorado.   Cobras Photo by Ryan Muncy   2. When was the first KHMTT   The race started in 1991 and was originally held near downtown Denver, then moved to Cherry Creek State Park, and was then known as the Cherry Creek Time Trial Series (which several old timers still to this day refer to the KHMTT as the CCTT). The COBRAS have been the promoter of the KHMTT since the early days of the series.   3.How did Karen become so beloved to the Cobras to name the series after her?   Karen was a beloved member of the racing community in the Denver area who passed away in 2006 at the age of 54 from breast cancer.  She was loved by many close cyclist friends and cancer survivors.   Her legacy is that she developed a program for cancer victims and survivors to be able to stay fit and exercise when cancer patients were told to go home and rest. Not Karen. Her program is still used today and is now known as the Cancer Fitness Institute (CFI); a recipient of donations from KHMTT.   For more information about Karen and CFI, go to https://khmtt.com/remembering-karen-hornbostel/   4. Tell us more about the COBRAS club?   The COBRAS have about 40 members who race and love the weekly rides we offer. The COBRAS offers a weekly no-drop Saturday ride and a Wednesday fast ride.  Both are open to members and nonmembers as well.   The club sends out weekly ride notices with the meeting location, time, and route with mileage, elevation gain, and a map using Ride with GPS.   5. What's new in 2023 for KHMTT   After years of working with Cherry Creek State Park, they have finally repaved the worse roads on the east and south sides of the park. We are very pleased that they have made the course much safer and more comfortable to race on.   The only unsafe part of the course was the turnaround on the west side of the park using Lake Loop Road.  The road has 2-3 inch cracks that we don't want racers to ride over any longer.   This year the COBRAS have modified the course to a 180 turnaround and not use the Lake Loop Road. There will be two certified flaggers at the turnaround to control vehicle traffic and two marshals to warn racers they are approaching the turnaround point, and a marshal at the turnaround so that racers know exactly where to turn.   We have improved the Show and Go program that allows a racer to reserve a start time then only must pay for races they participate in.   Our First Timer program is back as well offering someone who has never raced to try it out for a total of $20.   Other minor changes are that the start time intervals are now 30 seconds instead of the previous 20 seconds. This allows for fewer start times but keeps the density of the starts tighter, reducing gaps in the starts.   6. Talk about the role KHMTT, maybe Bicycle Colorado played in getting the roads re-paved   The COBRAS meet with CCSP management at least twice a year to talk about how the series can continue to have the least impact on the park and other park users, as well as what the series needs from the park. We have talked to CCSP over the years attempting to impress the need for road resurfacing for safety. We have had promises of “real soon now” for years and are very grateful it finally happened.   For the last eight years, the COBRAS have worked closely with Bicycle Colorado to help us interface with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and they have been effective. Their legislative representative has kept in touch with CPW monitoring the progress of the funding and the progress of the resurfacing.   8. Recently Frank passed away, the founding member of COBRAS, will there be any special recognition in the way of events or part of KHMTT   Frank was a highly respected and loved member of the COBRAS as well as one of the founders.  The COBRAS will name the start house (tent) to the Frank Schneider Memorial start house and are working with the synagogue that Frank was a member of to donate a plaque honoring Frank and his work with the COBRAS. The congregation loved Frank and was keenly aware of the love he had for bicycle racing and the COBRAS.   9. Why Volunteer?   All racing events depend on volunteers and the KHMTT is no exception.  We offer two volunteer shifts, each about an hour to an hour and a half. This allows racers to volunteer in one shift and race during the other. You can also volunteer and give your free race to someone else, like a friend or significant other.   We also offer paid positions and of course are grateful for volunteers who are willing to volunteer just for fun and being a part of the series.   The KHMTT still needs several volunteers to not only marshal but for other positions as well including someone who is familiar with Excel to help record finish times.   For more information go to https://khmtt.com/volunteer-request/   The KHMTT is inclusive, encouraging new racers, juniors, athletes with disabilities, and racers who now find that a ebike allows them to still ride and race.   Video of the Week: Clash Miami: Crashed Out   CLASH MIAMI 2023 | HIGHLIGHTS   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!

By Andy Schmidt Video of the Week - 2023 WTCS Abu Dhabi: Women's Highlights   Endurance News: TAYLOR SPIVEY EARNS BRONZE MEDAL IN 2023 WTCS SEASON OPENER IN ABU DHABI Crossing the line in 58:27, the third-place finish granted Spivey her first WTCS podium since 2021 and fifth-career WTCS medal. ABU DHABI, UAE — Showcasing an impressive start of the season, U.S. Elite Triathlon National Team member Taylor Spivey (Redondo Beach, Calif.) earned the bronze medal in the opening race of the circuit at the 2023 World Triathlon Championship Series Abu Dhabi on Friday, March 3.   Crossing the line in 58 minutes and 27 seconds, the third-place finish granted Spivey her first WTCS podium since 2021 and fifth-career WTCS medal.   The top-three finish also offered sweet redemption for Spivey, after she just barely missed the podium last season with three fourth-place finishes and ultimately a fourth-place overall Series ranking.   “To earn the bronze medal — pleased is an understatement. At one point in the race I was in fourth place and I thought ‘I can't let this happen again!' I am not the most confident athlete and racing is a way to build my confidence. And at the end of the day, I just executed every step of the race pretty perfectly and I finally came away with a step above fourth place, I am happy with it,” Spivey said of her result.   Abu Dhabi opened the season as the first of seven total stops on the 2023 WTCS calendar, with athletes returning to the same host city that crowned the World Champions last November.   Placing fifth in Abu Dhabi last fall, Spivey improved her position to third on a sprint-distance course (750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5k run). She finished just 31 seconds behind the victor, Beth Potter of Great Britain, who won in a time of 57:56, followed by British compatriot Sophie Coldwell with the silver (58:14).   U.S. Elite Summer Rappaport (Thornton, Colo.) also had a standout season-starting result, placing fourth. After a dominating swim where was third out of the water, she crossed the finish line just 8 seconds behind Spivey to claim the fourth-place position with a time of 58:35.   Fellow U.S. Elites, Kirsten Kasper (North Andover, Mass.) finished 25th with a time of 59:28, while Katie Zaferes (Cary, N.C.) clocked a time of 1:00:21 to finish 37th overall. This marked her first competition back to racing since 2021 and seven months after giving birth to her son last summer.   Gina Sereno (Madison. Wis.), fresh off her win last week at the Arena Games Triathlon Series in Montreal, made her second-ever WTCS appearance, finishing 41st.   On the men's side, Matt McElroy (Huntington Beach, Calif.) finished strong for the U.S. men, earning eighth place with a time of 53:19, his best WTCS result since 2019.   2023 World Triathlon Championship Series Abu Dhabi 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5K run   Elite Women's Podium - Complete Results 1.

And there looks to be bad news on the coverage front this year, with no live pictures but instead a post-race production…   POPULAR STORIES RIGHT NOW IRONMAN New Zealand 2023 results: Phillips and Visser take titles Alistair Brownlee setback as he rules himself out of IRONMAN South Africa IRONMAN explain reasons for Justine Mathieux DQ in South Africa Start time and how to follow The elite race at CLASH Endurance Miami takes place on Friday March 10th, 2023.   The start times are as follows:   Elite Women – 0830 local time / 1330 UK / 1430 CET Elite Men – 1200 local time / 1700 UK / 1800 CET Past editions of the event have been streamed live – and for free – on the CLASH Endurance Facebook and YouTube channels.   But this week the following message was posted about current plans: “If you know CLASH Endurance, you know we're always trying new things. There will be no live coverage, however a post-race show will be released after the event.”   So if you haven't got it already, then adding the CLASH Endurance app to your phone / mobile device is recommended for racing splits and results. It's pretty much identical to the layout and structure of the IRONMAN app – which given that has proven itself over many years, is a good thing.   Event history and course In 2021 the event was held under the ‘Challenge Miami' banner, prior the rebranding of the Challenge Family North American events to ‘CLASH'. In 2022, CLASH provided some of the most thrilling races on American soil, in both Miami and Daytona.   Homestead Miami / Challenge Miami In Miami, the race venue is the Homestead Miami Speedway, a self-enclosed motor racing circuit event. As with the Daytona International Speedway, a very convenient lake sits nicely within the centre of the circuit, primed and ready for swimmers.   Unlike the racing at Daytona however, CLASH Miami utilises the roads within the racing oval, and so is far more technical than the pure straight-line speed efforts that are the focus there.   The event will be raced over the following distances:   Swim: 1.7km / 1.05-mile (2 laps) Bike: 62.7km / 39-miles (17 laps of 2.2 miles + one part lap to start) Run: 16.9km / 10.5 miles (7 laps of 1.5 miles) Pro Women Last year, Ashleigh Gentle dominated, with the Australian winning by almost eight minutes in a performance that really set the tone for what was in store throughout the rest of the season for the PTO World #1.   This year, however, looks set to be a much more competitive race, with the absence of the defending champion from the start list really opening up the competition to a whole host of contenders.   Last season's runner up, Brazil's Pamela Oliveira, is an athlete who knows what it takes to get on the podium in Miami, but will face stiff competition if she has any hopes of going one better than last season.   The 35-year-old, who won IRONMAN Brasil as well as Challenge Brazil in 2022, will rely heavily on her endurance in Miami, and will have to hope her strong swim-bike combination will be enough to keep her away from some of the lightning quick runners in the field.   Sara Perez Sala (ESP) and Haley Chura (USA) are also likely to be to the fore from the outset.   Perez Sala, who won the Challenge Championship in 2022, before also finishing second at CLASH Daytona behind Angelica Olmo, will be hoping to build an insurmountable lead over the swim and the bike this Friday, with athletes such as Chura and Sif Bendix Madsen (DEN) the likely candidates to contribute to an early break.   Sara Perez Sala The Championship 2022 Sara Perez Sala – Photo Credit: Jose Luis Hourcade Last year, Sala crashed out of CLASH Miami, so will be hoping that her return this time round will not be brought to such an abrupt end. If her winter training has gone well, expect to see her at the front from the gun and pushing hard for the win throughout the closing stages.   Lastly, Lucy Byram will be flying the flag for the UK, as the 23-year-old Brit looks to build on a 2022 that featured Challenge Wales and IRONMAN 70.3 Jesolo wins, plus runner up spots at IRONMAN 70.3 Vichy and Challenge Riccione, with a strong performance Stateside.   Pro Men In the men's field, defending champion Sam Long will look to take down some big names from both the ITU scene and the long course world as he races for the first time under the guidance of new coach Dr Dan Plews.   Sam Long (Photo credit: CLASH Endurance Miami) Sam Long (Photo credit: CLASH Endurance Miami) More stardust was sprinkled on the event at the start of this week when Canada's Lionel Sanders announced he was a surprise addition to the field.   ‘No Limits' impressed pretty much everyone at the super-sprint distance of Arena Games Montreal recently, was second on his previous appearance here in 2021 behind Jan Frodeno) and will be locking horns with Long again after their epic battle at the Collins Cup last season.   Jason West (USA), runner-up here last year, will look to challenge Long as will Tom Bishop (GBR), who was an excellent fourth at CLASH Daytona late last year.   Joe Skipper had been scheduled to take part but the only British man to have outperformed him in Kona, David McNamee, will look to rediscover the form that saw him take back-to-back IMWC podiums in 2018 and 2019.   In addition to McNamee and Bishop is fellow Brit Kieran Lindars, who won the European Long Distance Championships at Challenge Almere and finished a respectable 11th at CLASH Daytona.   Finally, internationals Matthew Sharpe (CAN) and Samuel Appleton (AUS), who have both finished sixth at CLASH events in Florida in the past, could be the only athletes with the swim ability to match Luis, setting up a potential scenario where the Frenchman has some real bike power to work alongside out on the speedway.   Prize Money: What's on the line? Athletes will be racing for a total prize purse of $50,000, payable eight deep as follows:   1st – $7,500 2nd – $5,000 3rd – $3,750 4th – $3,000 5th – $2,000 6th – $1,500 7th – $1,250 8th – $1,000   https://www.youtube.com/@CLASHENDURANCE/streams https://www.youtube.com/@CLASHENDURANCE/streams   What's New in the 303:   What is Mips® and Why You Should Care? By: A.V. Schmit   303 Endurance | Interior of Mips bike helmet Interior of a bike helmet with Mips® Technology. Photo: Courtesy of Mips.   If you've been helmet shopping in the last few years, you have no doubt seen the little yellow circle that says, “Mips” on some of the helmets and boxes. What is Mips® and why should you care?   MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) was developed in Sweden, Stockholm to be exact, by a neurosurgeon and an engineer. The technology represents the intersection of academic research and industrial engineering.   The research, begun in 1995, was led by Hans von Holst of the Karolinska Institute, a practicing neurosurgeon, and Peter Halldin, an engineer with a background in aeronautics. Von Holst had witnessed the devastating aftermath of numerous Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) while performing brain surgeries on his patients. This inspired him to begin looking for ways to ameliorate these types of injuries.   By examining the design of commercially available helmets, he was soon convinced that the currently crop of helmets were not providing sufficient protection against brain injuries. Especially those involving rotational forces or secondary impacts after an initial impact.   He then contacted the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) about initiating a research project focused on the prevention of head and neck injuries. That's when he was introduced to Halldin who was at the time a student at the institute.   Halldin then commenced a PhD program studying biomechanics in order to investigate the problem and work on engineering a solution. Together they identified the way the dura membrane was critical to the brain's ability to slide within the skull in order to prevent concussions.   They hypothesized, if a low-friction area could be created between the head and the helmet, rotational force, especially from an oblique (or angular) impact like that of a cyclist falling off a bicycle, could be reduced. They enlisted the help of Nigel Mills, who had access to the types of testing equipment they would need to prove their theory was correct.   During the same time period, Svein Kleiven also a PhD student at the institute, had begun work on developing an FE (Finite Element) model of the human brain. It has since been recognized as the highest fidelity computer / mathematical model of the human brain ever created. This model proved to be a key research / simulation tool for Mips®, as it made it possible to visualize and measure the effects of Mips® safety system in a variety of collisions.   Human cadavers and, in some cases, living subjects would have been used for this type of analysis, but because of ethical reasons, availability and variability in experimental results, the FE computer model is infinitely preferable.   Researchers and product testers can run an infinite number of simulated crash experiments without cracking any skulls. Now I know what you are thinking, “What about all those out-of-work crash test dummies?” Fret not, the FE model Kleiven developed is only for the brain, it will be some time before a complete FE model of the whole human body will be available. And Mips® and the bike helmet manufacturers still use synthetic human heads in testing.   The results of their research, a 50% reduction in rotational forces as a result of a crash. This led them to publish their results in 2001 and apply for a patent in 2002 which was granted in 2003. This led to the formation of Mipscorp, the company responsible for bringing Mips® technology to market through its brand partners.   Mips has become bicycle industry's defacto answer to mitigating rotational forces on the brain in the event of a crash. When a cyclist falls, their head often impacts a solid surface at an angle. This angular impact creates a rotation in the brain, which has been proven to have significant potential to cause concussions and TBI's.   Scott Sports was the first helmet manufacturer to integrate Mips® into their ARX helmet design, with other manufactures soon to follow. Now, Giro, Bell, Scott, POC and other bicycle industry leaders have integrated Mips® into their helmet designs.   As of 2016, more than 28 helmet manufacturers had integrated Mips® into their product lines, with a corresponding number of 1.7 million units featuring the revolutionary technology.   Well, there you have it… If a Mips® technology helmet can offer as much as a 50 percent reduction in rotational forces on your brain in a crash. Maybe we should all care what kind of helmet we wear.   Video of the Week: 2023 WTCS Abu Dhabi: Women's Highlights     Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!
