Boulder, Colorado (January, 2007) – Triathlon Canada has joined an elite group of national governing bodies and professional teams who are leveraging the Training Peaks technology in the pursuit of future results and medals. Triathlon Canada and Training Peaks have announced a partnership which will allow Triathlon Canada national team coaches and athletes to use Training Peaks as their central planning, monitoring and analysis software.
In doing so, Triathlon Olympic medals will be won and lost in less than two years in Beijing, China and every little edge counts. “The secret to winning gold at the Olympic level is in the details. Training Peaks will become an essential tool for Triathlon Canada when preparing and selecting future teams,” said Dirk Friel, Training Peaks Director of Business Development.
Triathlon Canada will also have CyclingPeaks WKO+ within their arsenal of training tools. WKO+ is becoming the “gold standard” for analyzing athlete performances based on power, heart rate, altitude and more. Both Training Peaks and CyclingPeaks WKO+ are compatible with today’s most popular hardware devices which is essential for a multisport event such as triathlon.
“We are proud to be working with Training Peaks. To compete with the best in the world will require us to manage and share our training information between our top coaches, athletes, and sport scientists in order to optimize our training processess on a continual basis” said Dr. Tom Patrick, High Performance Director with Triathlon Canada.
