xtri.com can reasonably claim to be one of the oldest continuously updated triathlon web sites on the Internet, dating back to March 1998. Since its inception, many triathlon web sites have come and gone, some with fanfare and marketing budgets well beyond the modest means available to xtri. Throughout that time, xtri.com has continued to be updated on a daily basis with the latest news, photos, results and personal tales from long-course triathlon around the world. It all adds up to certainly one of the largest triathlon resources on the Internet – currently, over 3,000 pages of text comprise 1600+ articles in the archives. The site is routinely visited by 40-50,000 unique IPs per month and generates in excess of half a million page views per month. As an independent web site without a user forum and limited to a very specific area of triathlon, those figures bear testimony to the special regard with which this site is held by the wider triathlon community.
