ALL BUSINESS IN ARIZONA AS LANCE TORCHED THE 81 DEGREE WATERS OF THE TEMPE TOWN LAKE
It's been a busy spring for elite triathlete Lance Panigutti, but he wouldn't have it any other way. At the Tempe International Triathlon last weekend Lance exited the waters of the Tempe Town Lake with the 4th fastest elite male swim of the day. He continues to prove that the out-of-box training philosophy of his coach Grant Holicky is on the cutting edge. When asked about the non-traditional method Lance remarked, "I'm not a cookie cutter athlete who follows the same path as the pros before me. If we want to progress the sport to the next level we need to risk stepping outside of traditional methods and going against the grain." It's not coincidental that his sponsors (Paketa Bikes, Peaceful Mountain, Lumen Photon, and PowerCranks) share the same out-of-the-box thinking in their own industries. -CP

On March 5th elite triathlete Lance Panigutti stormed central Florida to win the Florida Great Escape Triathlon. The race consisted of a 1.5 miles swim, 18 mile bike, and 7 mile run as it served as a qualifying race for the prestigous Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in San Fransisco. After traveling from cold and windy Colorado Lance had what he called a "perfect season opener".

LANCE TEAMS UP WITH PEACEFUL MOUNTAIN PRODUCTS
After being side-lined with a bad case of plantar fascitis Lance was introduced to the Peaceful Mountain product - Tendon Rescue. Although skepitcal at first he was willing to give it a try, especially since nothing else seemed to be working. Within 3 days he was running his usual 16 mile long run on Magnolia rd. (dirt rd at 8,500 ft) with just a dull pain. After a week of constant application the problem wasn't even noticable. Now he wont even start a workout without applying the Peak Performance gel - designed to delay lactic acid build up and accelerate warm-up time. "These products are the most highly concentrated herbal formulas on the market. In fact they are so unique and strong there is nothing else available to even compare them to."
