The thing about racing Ironman events is that you always have to be prepared to face the unexpected. This past Sunday was no exception when weather conditions forced the Ochsner Ironman 70.3 New Orleans race format to be altered to a two-mile run, 52-mile bike, and conclude with a 13.1-mile run.

QT2 is excited to announce the addition of first year PRO Kim Schwabenbauer to its Elite Team. Kim will be working with Coach Jesse as an elite development athlete. Since obtaining two overall Ironman Amateur wins at IM Lake Placid in 2011 (10:11), and at IM Cozumel in 2010 (10:03), Kim has decided to take her racing and preparation to a new level with QT2.

Over 20 QT2 athletes lined up to take part in the Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas, this past Sunday, April 1, 2012 in Galveston, TX. The conditions were sunny and hot and quite breezy but that didn't prevent many from having very strong performances particularly for this early in the season.

What began as a fun competition between two QT2 coaches has turned into a great opportunity to raise money for, and bring further awareness to the ongoing battle against cancer.

QT2 Systems has launched the first iPhone/iTouch calculator that projects an individual's triathlon race performance and determines appropriate, personalized training ranges. Jesse Kropelnicki, founder of QT2 Systems and developer of the original Triathlon Calculator says, "Triathletes put a great deal of time and focus into their race preparations, and should always be well aware of where they stand, with regard to their racing goals. This new software will help them to be more in tune with the progress that they are making, and further motivate them to achieve their goals."

QT2 athletes opened up the 2012 triathlon season, this past Sunday, at the 22nd running of the Hyannis Half Marathon . In all, 31 QT2 athletes showed up and performed well on a day that was cold and very windy.

This past week 29 athletes and coaches participated in QT2 Systems' second annual training camp in Clermont, Florida. Held near the National Training Center (NTC), this first of three 2012 training camps is typically the most anticipated, as it allows athletes a few days of warm weather training, and an escape from cold weather climates.
