Triathlon calculator (swimming/cycling/running/speed/pace/km/mi)

Another version of calculator is released.

No changes in icon, BUT! I got it finally!!! I just had to listen to feedback, see what another calculators do and testi is on several devices, not only mine. My idea to have a smart time input field which can guess what time you've entered failed... In order to enter "1h 30m" on the phone, you have to switch three times between letters and numbers, which is frustrating... plus you have to remember the format to enter the time or read about it in help (which nobody does, obviosly)
So, hours, minutes and seconds now are separate fields. Only numbers, no more long help read. Give it a try here and install mobile versions. Please rate it, provide your feedback - I feel happy like a baby when I get it :)

My first open water swim - Bosphorus 2014

Marathon, Bosporus, Half-Ironman. - This chain of events has to happen this summer, and it's all right so far. Second goal achieved, although with some mistakes, but more on this later.

Pre-history

Let's go back to the beginning. Summer 2013. Triathlon: Swimming, Cycling, Running - absolute zero experience in all those elements :). I was fully aware that it is impossible to get Ironman quickly. I thought that it would be nice to participate in several cycling, running, and swimming races. All of them had to take place next summer (2014) in order to have time for the preparation, and have enough time for recovery. Eventually, I had the marathon in June, Bosporus swim  - July and Half Ironman - August. Right, I know, there is no cycling in this list--I couldn’t fit everything in just three summer months --autumn was planned for another thing.

Second book - Water, First part - Water magitians.

My article has this name not because I'm far from reality or triathlon had negative affect on my mind. Let me tell you what does it mean, before you fantasy did it instead.

Actually this is the name of one of Avatar cartoon series (or something similar). It is gorgeous cartoon, where people have super skills, like water, fire, air and ground control, and only Avatar can control everything (this guy is on the picture).

I like to make analogy between this cartoon and triathlon. Sport - is a fairy world were runners are "Ground magicians", swimmers are "Water magicians" and cyclists are "Air magitians" (as triathlon doesn't have analogy for fire magicians, we'll skip it ;)). Those who possesses all of them are Avatars, or in our world - Ironmans.
