Forget Facebook, MySpace or any other online hangout that boasts tens or hundreds of millions of people.
For Teresa Munoz, Athlinks (population: 34,000) is the place to be.
She uses the community devoted to competitive running, swimming and
biking events to find training partners and get advice, including
information about her first Ironman triathlon.
Munoz, 45, of Hacienda Heights, Calif., said she tried finding
like-minded people on MySpace, but found only those "looking for people
to date, not really there for the sport. I didn't get as much out of
that."
