2012 ITU World Cup season hits Huatulco

The ITU World Cup season hits Huatulco this weekend for the fifth consecutive year. In that time, it’s become one of the athletes favourites with its tough bike course and run. Mix in some oppressive heat and Huatulco is one of the toughest stops on the ITU calendar. This year it’s the final ITU World Cup event to offer Olympic qualification points, and therefore there is plenty on the line.

Portugal’s Bruno Pais is also one to watch on the podium, after his bronze medal here last year, while his countrymanJoao Pereira is still chasing those important points to keep Portugal in with a chance to send three men. In the hotly contested race to see who can send the maximum three men to London, Ivan Vasiliev‘s incredible April has meant that Russia rocketed from ninth to fourth in the space of three weeks and New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Portugal are fighting it out to fill places sixth through eight. Both Pereira and New Zealand’s third man, Ryan Sissons, are on the start list in Huatulco and will be looking to move further ahead of Australia and Canada, who are in eighth and ninth respectively.

The men’s race at 10.45am. Live timing and text updates will be available on www.triathlon.org/live, and the full wrap and video highlights will be at www.triathlon.org after the race.

The Altitude Centre

Supporting our athletes for the 2012 Olympics

As this newsletter goes out there are only 94 days left until the Olympics.

Many athletes we are working with are keeping their altitude training under their hat to maintain their competitive advantage, but here is an up-date on those that we are allowed to talk about.

Our Altitude Centre sponsored athletes are progressing well with their altitude training. Jonathan Brownlee [pictured left] has been sleeping high and featured in an interesting article in Triathlon magazine Tri220. His world champion brother Alistair Brownlee [pictured below] , a client of ours since 2007,has also been able to use our equipment to help recover from a recent Achilles injury and is now back on top form .

We are also supporting a swimmer who has recently qualified, helping keep our athletes on par with competitors around the world who are using altitude training both in training and whilst sleeping for improvements in Sprint and Endurance disciplines. We are also supporting other athletes in Triathlon, Rowing, Cycling, Pentathlon, Race Walking, Marathon and 400m. We wish them all well.
