I'm new here and was wondering if you can see any triathlon or ironman races on the telly anywhere. Except for the BBC I haven't managed to find anything.
One of the sports channels show Australian Ironman which is not what you might think it is, its all about the 4 sports / disciplines to do with surf life saving
As has been said above, Eurosport covers some of the longer distance stuff. Likewise, the ITU races are covered by the BBC and can be found on the iPlayer.
Of course, there's also YouTube - I've watched a few of the Kona events etc there.

I recorded this once, thinking I was going to be watching Ironman Australia.
It's facsinating viewing - wife and kids were also rivited, unlike when I'm watching Triathlon...

Eurosport shows a range of tri's
Tomorrow 9am Eurosport - Ironman New Zealand
Tomorrow, 7:30pm Eurosport 2 HD - ITU Yokahama
And if you can get "The Active Channel" Sky 281, there's a lot on there including Bolton Ironman and the Canary Warf Triathlon
Channel 4 are doing another series over the summer too - I know the Outlaw is showing in an hour programme on August 25th.
the stuff on the active channel is so old though most of the time, does have a bit of adenture racing n there too though
Cheers guys,
I watched the yokahama ITU and I'll keep checking for more in the future.
