            <title>01.09 | New World Record Relay Swim</title>
            <description>UK - British record breaking swimmer Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE has achieved another world record in the water;  the longest ever relay swim. The swim took place in January in New Zealand on Lake Taupo where a team of six female swimmers took 33 hours and 33 mins to swim an incredible distance of 120 kms. The 18th world record for Dr Bradshaw, she uses Aqua Sphere's pioneering Seal mask and performance swimwear and says, &quot;The Seal mask gives me great all round vision and fit which is much needed in outdoor marathon swimming and the swimwear is superbly comfortable and very durable, ideal for fitness swimmers.&quot; The record swim was in aid of Rainbows Childrens Hospice in Loughborough and Brian House Hospice in Blackpool. The team is planning a record British Channel swim this summer.</description>

Paul was supported by Aqua Sphere swim equipment and states, &quot;I made sure I had an Aqua Sphere swim cap, Eagle goggles and swimwear, and they were brilliant. The Eagles didn't steam up once, and I had them on solidly the entire time. They are simply fantastic. The best goggles I have ever used.&quot;</description>

            <description>UK - It was time: time to test out the knee and the heart and lungs and the racing head. On Saturday I did the Scottish Standard Distance Triathlon Champs at Gullane. A typically wet and windy day with the added bonus of a sea swim full of thousands of nasty slimy stingy jellyfish! Rough water and cold temperatures are never a good start to a race so I was not in the best frame of mind by the time I climbed the mountain slopes to T1.</description>

            <description>US - As triathletes, we have the privilege of having more gear to purchase than most other single sports; since we swim, bike AND run, we are tasked with buying three times the number of toys that our single sporting counterparts get to buy. But with all the gear and our different requirements for training versus racing, wouldn't it be nice to know that what we buy is going to actually fit and work, both on and off the course?</description>

            <description>FR - The women's field is slightly less well endowed with three clear contenders. Alexandra Louison, who is also a very accomplished duathlete, won here last year and set a course record in the process. Like Marcel Zamora Perez, she too has wins at the sister 70.3 Monaco event to here credit showing that the hills hold no fear for her.&lt;br&gt;

Her two primary challengers are Katja Schumacher, who has wins at Roth, Florida, Frankfurt and Wisconsin to her credit, and Katya Meyers who had a fourth place with the fastest bike split over the Nice course in 2006 in her resume. Multiple winner on flat courses versus fastest biker on a hilly course - now that one is going to be very interesting to watch!</description>
