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.

The 2013 QT2 Systems Lake Placid training camp was a huge success and we couldn’t have done it without the support of all of the great QT2 Systems sponsors.   It was the largest training camp to date in terms of number of athletes at about 27.

2013 REV3 Quassy Half Distance Triathlon was another day to remember for QT2 Systems athletes. With full sun, and temperatures feeling more like July and August, it was anybody’s guess as to how everyone would perform. However, QT2 athletes took the opportunity to shine!

The Core Diet, an operating business of QT2 Systems, LLC and a foremost provider of sports nutrition services, is very excited to announce its recent affiliate partnership with OutRival Racing (ORR); offering ORR athletes nutritional support as a part of their training and racing needs. ORR is one of the largest Texas-based coaching services providing  training plans, group programs, and weekly training sessions to triathletes, runners, cyclists and other endurance athletes.  ORR is also the official coach of the Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas and Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas.  For more information, please read the full release HERE.

QT2 athletes had to deal with some pretty difficult conditions at Ironman Texas, and were once again forced to overcome a good deal of adversity. But, that is the nature of Ironman. If you were following the athletes this past Saturday, May 18, 2013, at the Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas, you already know just how difficult it was. There were 19 QT2 athletes racing, up from 13 in 2012, and considering the conditions of the day (temps in the mid- to upper-90’s, with a heat index of 108 degrees), all of them deserve a lot of respect for making it across the finish line.

This past Sunday, April 7th, 2013 in Galveston, TX 37 QT2 athletes lined up to take part in the Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas. That’s up from just over 20 QT2’ers in 2012. Based on how well QT2 Systems athletes performed during 2012 the coaching staff knows it will be tough to duplicate those successes in 2013. Yet, Galveston proved we can do it again in 2013!
