Water temperature and locations may have differed this weekend, but the performance advantage was the same as the North American triathlon season began this past weekend. Two flagship events on the calendar kicked off in similar style, with blueseventy suits leading the fields out of the water in both men’s and women’s fields of the St Croix 70.3 race, and the Wildflower Triathlon.
The St Croix Ironman 70.3 Triathlon held in the Virgin Islands, produces warm water temperatures that make wetsuits illegal, but wearing the FINA approved pointzero3+ suits made by blueseventy by Bryan Rhodes and Julie Dibens were clear leaders out of the water in their respective fields.
In California, at the AVIA Wildflower Long Distance Triathlon, cooler water temperatures meant the bulk of the field were choosing to wear wetsuits, and course-record holder Terenzo Bozzone and Linda Gallo leading out the female swim exit, both wearing the newly released Helix fullsuit from blueseventy.
Both the pointzero3 swimskin and the helix wetsuit have established blueseventy as the number one brand in the triathlon arena, giving a strong indication to rival companies that they will have to play catch up in order to match the advantage blueseventy products seem to have given their athletes in recent months.
Steve Nicholls, part of the product development team at blueseventy was delighted at the results the suit has produced.
“Obviously we’re thrilled to be helping athletes perform at their best. We have been really happy all the way along the development process of both suits, and the results and comments from people are not coming as a big surprise”.
