Lance Armstrong posted on Twitter that USMS Spring Nationals is "on his calendar.". How great would that be for us!?!!

Triathletes do whine a lot. And post their workouts on facebook too often. But they do work harder - way harder - than swimmers (and get divorced because they become too obsessed about it).
As pwb already mentioned, triathletes spend more time training, but that is not necessarily harder. What really separates triathlon training is the obscene amount of time they have to spend biking if they want to prepare adequately.
One thing I have noticed about triathletes is they don't seem to work very hard in the pool or running. I don't see them huffing and puffing in between repeats. They seem to be putting in yardage or miles focused on survival, not intensity.
