TriFest 2008

Triathletes love TYR goggles and accessories. The new Nest Pro Metallized goggle was huge hit at TriFest.

Mark Van Akkerern and Kristen Hilger hang out at the TYR booth. At the 2007 Ironman World Championship, Mark was the fastest swimmer and he was still an amauter. He beat the top professional by more than 2 minutes. Kristen enters the professional realm of triathlon after winning the 25-29 age group at the 2007 Ironman 70.3 California. When she's not training, she is a exercise physiologist.

Welcome to the team!

TriFest 2008


TriFest 2008 took place this last weekend in Tuscon, Arizona. TYR Triathletes slipped away from training for a few days to support TYR. Mark Van Akkerern (new TYR triathlete), Pip Taylor, TJ Tollakson and Kristen Hilger (new TYR triathlete) participated in a speakers panel in which they passed on their multi-sport knowledge to attendees.
