KIA Triathlons
Triathlons are not a mainstream event, which makes this seem so much more odd.
We all know that Ford took over sponsorship of Ironman events. I have been waiting for the offical 'Ironman' version a Ford SUV or pick up. Like a F-150 with a built in, locking bike clamp, waterproof seats and wet storage.
This morning I saw that KIA has a car commerical with triathletes. Its got a car guy selling a KIA vehicles to them as they get ready for the swim start. Not specifically a car made for triathletes but triathlon as the backdrop.
I like that. I wish there were more commericals, more plots on television shows, more fanfare on sports programs and news shows that used triathlons. The more the merrier.

Still doesn't make me want a Ford or a Kia...oops, you have a Ford, don't you :)
Mainstream is cool though...gets the word out!
Yo Com,
I saw that add and thought they could have used the triathlon theme a little better. All I saw was a bunch of people swinging their arms around and stretching. It almost takes a triathlete to recognize it. None the less, sweet pub for the sport. Shows us where the sport is heading in the near future. Take care Com and go Mighty Mo!
I saw that commercial, too. Quite suprising!
my husband (ironbenny) and i also saw the commercial... but we thought that they could have really done a lot more with it. it was a nice thought and nice to see something about triathlons... but they really could have taken it a lot farther than they really did.
It's definitely a start. The odd thing, is that you really wouldn't know who he's talking to if you weren't a tri-geek. Ang and I recognized it though, and thought it was kind of cool.
i don't want a ford or a kia.... but i do like the support for our sport so just send $$$$$.
I like that triathlons aren't maintstream yet. Let's hope Oprah doesn't run one before I do IM Florida.
A car made for triathletes? U mean a bike? :)
I had a thought what if Tri is a main sport. Like baseball or soccer. Wouldn't that be great? Then I realize if it does come true, every morning u will not see cars on the road. But waves and streams of runners and bikers. Hmm...I guess I am selfish. But I do love the tranquinlity of me and the road at 6 am.
