The Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas is historically one of the early season tests for QT2 athletes who have spent the previous five months enduring hours and many miles on their indoor trainers. This year was no different!  Nearly 30 QT2 athletes lined up for the start of the April 6th race.  Unlike previous years, the conditions on race day were practically ideal. Cool and overcast skies, combined with significant winds, made for a less than ideal first leg of the swim but an extremely fast bike segment. By the time the athletes hit T2, heading out onto to the run, the only thing standing in their way was a bit of humidity.  But, even that wasn’t enough. In addition, we once again debuted our brand new race kits for 2014 courtesy of Pearl Izumi!

Another very important aspect of being a pro is the ability to handle adversity – adversity comes in many forms. On race day there is always adversity, whether it’s dropped nutrition or a crash or a mechanical – how the athlete handles this mentally is always key to their success on race day. Being able to stay calm and collected when things go wrong takes practice. The QT2 Pro camps take these 2 concepts – professionalism and adversity training, and forces the athletes to address these things continuously every day for 17 days. The training they will endure will be some of the hardest they will face in their lives.  These athletes were training up around 30-40 hours a week which was roughly 25-35,000 yards of swimming, ~375-450 miles on the bike, and 40-60 run miles depending on the athlete.

Founder Jesse Kropelnicki, of QT2 Systems, has announced the first of three PRO/ELITE squad environment training camps of 2014. 

After an 8-week trial period, of our new Athlete Advantage service, we have found it to be VERY successful, and beneficial to athletes! With that, we are continuing forward with it under the same structure! 

Next Wednesday, November 6th, QT2 will be piloting a brand new service to the first 15 athletes that register!

As if getting to one of the most iconic endurance events in the world isn't hard enough, those who do qualify are typically faced with the added obstacle of nature's wrath, Hawaiian style.  In other words, sun, heat, and extreme humidity.

QT2 Systems, LLC is very excited to announce that it will be sending its largest contingent, yet, to the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, HI on October 12, 2013.  Having qualified 30 athletes, throughout the 2013 qualifying season, 28 will be making the trip to the Big Island, and racing. Of the 30 qualifiers, three chose to decline their invitations, and one spot was gained through the annual lottery. The nearly 30 athletes represent the coaching organization’s team of professional, elite, and age group athletes, from around the world.

QT2 Systems has announced the membership criteria, and application deadline, for its 2014 Elite, Age Group Elite, and Advanced triathlon teams! The QT2 Systems racing team is one of the world's most recognized teams, due to the consistent and top performances of its age group and professional athletes, and strong industry partnerships.  The QT2 Team is for any athlete who would like to take their racing to the next level with QT2's dynamic coaches, and have the highest level of support, by staff dedicated to sponsorship, team events, and athlete representation.

The third weekend of August proved to be quite busy, both domestically and abroad!

In its 15th year, Ironman Lake Placid is not only one of the toughest courses on the worldwide Ironman circuit, it is also one of the most popular.  With a very challenging and technical bike course, and a marathon that most athletes fear, the course is tailor made for QT2 athletes.
