Skinfit USA has partnered with Christine Jeffrey

Professional triathlete, Christine Jeffrey, is now a Skinfit athlete. Most recently she placed 5th at the Xterra World Championships. She is a stellar swimmer with a background in ITU racing. She has switched her focus to Xterra and we are excited to see her progress as she chases a World Championship title!

Two Skinfit athletes stand atop the podium

Both James Walsh and Trevor Glavin won their respective class at a XC race just outside San Diego, California two weeks ago. After those fine performances they teamed up for the 12 hours of Temecula and finished 3rd. They are both wearing the new "Skinfit Racing Team" cycling kits.

Victor Plata wins ITU Pan American Cup in San Francisco

The 35-year-old Plata - who won at the Pacific Grove Triathlon just a few weeks ago - used a strong run to pull away from Olympian Matt Reed and win in 1:54:29. Joe Umphenour was second in 1:54:47, with Brian Fleischmann in third in 1:55:03.

"I think this is the biggest win in my career," said an emotional Plata, who pumped both arms in the air after breaking through the finish tape. "I'm so blessed today, so lucky. I've had a pretty tough go of it. It was a great way to finish the season. I came in dead last at the Olympic Trials. It was rough. I took a couple months off then really resurrected my season at Pacific Grove."

Victor wore a blue and white Skinfit Speedsuit II on his way to his great win. Here is what Victor says about the Skinfit Speedsuit II:
"A triathlon racing uniform has to reduce drag in the swim, feel comfortable on the bike, and keep me cool on the run. The Skinfit Tri Speedsuit meets all of my racing requirements, and looks great too! "

The entire Skinfit USA team would like to congratulate Victor on his outstanding results to close out the 2008 season. Great job, Vic!

Yvonne van Vlerken finishes 2nd in Kona!

Skinfit athlete Yvonne van Vlerken finished 2nd at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. The entire Skinfit USA team would like to congratulate Yvonne on this outstanding achievement. Yvonne prepared herself for the race in our backyard at Lake Tahoe (CA) and it looks like all the hard work at altitude paid off.

Yvonne:
"The 2nd place finish in this world-class field was a lot of hard work. It is definitely the most important result of my career. My Ironman worldrecord earlier this year was a step in the right direction, but you cannot call yourself a complete longdistance triathlete until you have proven yourself in Kona!"

Skinfit in full-effect at the Xterra World Championships

Skinfit was in full-effect at the Xterra World Championships this weekend in Maui! Julie Dibens won the women's race and was crowned Xterra World Champion for the second year in a row...she was wearing a blue Skinfit speedsuit! The speedsuit helped her fly through the water and stay cool during the hot temperatures.
On the men's side, the 2nd place man was wearing skinfit tri shorts and the 12th place man was wearing our "mamba" speedsuit!
Not a bad day for Skinfit on US soil!
