Reid Retires

Ironman great Peter Reid, from Canada, has decided to retire from triathlon, after a decade-long career that included 10 Ironman wins, with three Ironman world titles. After struggling with his motivation in training throughout the winter and spring, Reid made the decision to walk away…

Bummer. I always enjoyed the stalking of Peter Reid on the run course at Hawaii. He was a great champion. Best of luck, Peter, whatever you decide to do.

  4. That’s really sad. Do you think he was burned out? Maybe he’ll return after a leave of absence. I bet he misses it. Wonder what he’ll do next?

  5. Thanks for riding with me last Weds-barring bad weather, I’ll be there tomorrow night. Remind me to ask you where your ride was-that’s awesome for distance. Looks like the gang is going out again after-see you then.

  6. I heard recently that Chris Leigh of Kona Bonk fame and the recent Gatorade commerical has retired from IM’s and switched to the 70.3 circuit. I can understand the issues he deals with after that bad of a heat injury. good for him
