The following charter was included in a post to news.announce.newgroups
approving the creation rec.sport.triathlon as a newsgroup. The first draft
of
the charter was submitted by Tim Rigg and refined during the discussion
period
to produce the final result:

rec.sport.triathlon is for the discussion of all multi-event sports
including
triathlons, biathlons, duathlons, and all other events. Valid topics include
equipment questions and suggestions, training ideas, race results, athlete
profiles, race strategy and similar topics. In an effort to minimize cross
posting, specific questions should be posted to other groups when there is
little impact from the multi-event nature of the sport (for example, "Help,
my
triathlon bike makes a strange clicking sound" should be sent to
rec.bicycles)
