Peak.com — Facebook for endurance athletes

"The new online community for endurance and adventure racers lets you create profiles, share race results, and network with other athletes, from ultrarunning legends like Marshall Ulrich to the weekend warrior next door. Have your profile ranked, with a score based on your finishing times in some of the toughest races in the world." — Alicia Carr, writing in the latest issue (September, 2008) of Outside magazine.

Memo to the grand panjandrums and majordomos of Peak.com: Lose the blasting audio that comes on when your website comes up — it's always a bad idea to make sound the default.

If we want it we'll turn it on, thank you very much.
