Congrats Joanna Zeiger

Joanna Zeiger won the 5430 Long Course Triathlon this weekend and basically led the race wire to wire. She emerged from the water first in her blueseventy pointzero and the rest was history. :-)

Dutch blueseventy love

Swimmers Simon Edenburg, Charles Potin and Toby Arnoutse talk at the Zeeuwse Kampioenschappen about their blueseventy pointzero 3 swimskins. In Dutch of course. :-)

A nice testimonial

We recently got this very nice testimonial email from Stephen in Columbia, MD.


My name is Stephen and I am a 28 year old amateur triathlete from Columbia, MO. ... I have competed in over 30 events in the last 2.5 years and am often one of the first swimmers out of the water. I have resisted wetsuits and swimskins for a long time, thinking that they wouldn’t benefit my swimming as much as they would for a beginner and fearing the loss of too much time in T1. I broke down and bought a Blue Seventy PointZero 3 this spring and gave it a try in the pool. I really liked how it felt on my body and the way I slid through the water.
At the end of June, I competed in my second half iron triathlon in Effingham, Ill with my PointZero 3. While most athletes there wore wetsuits, I was perfectly comfortable in my swimskin. I swam neck and neck with the elite athletes and was the 5th out of water (7th fastest time overall) and with the ease of removal I left T1 in second place overall! The rest of the event was fun, I held my own on the bike, but still have a long way to go in my running.
...
I guess all I have left to say is…THANK YOU!!! You guys are awesome. I have several people ask me about the PointZero 3 every time I wear it…it always gets an enthusiastic two thumbs up!

Sincerely,

SJP

Pieter Van Den Hoogenband test

Our blueseventy pointzero & nero swim skins have seen quite a bit of open water time and have really proven themselves over and over so far. Many though wondered how well these super fast swim skins would do in the pool and chlorine. To answer this question we recently got a few decently well known swimmers like Pieter Van Den Hoogenband to test them out and wow what a success it was.

Oh, for the record he swam 1.45.9 for 200m, his fastest time in six years. :-)

Felipe Bastos reports from New Orleans

I am just back from the TriAmerica race in New Orleans' Northshore. I had a terrific day and ended up with the win. I felt so strong throughout the whole race and my body was incredibly responsive every time I asked it to do more.

Thanks for the continued support - also many thanks for sending the PointZero3 just in time. This was my first time wearing it and I was amazed at how much of a difference it made in my swim!





Next up is the Southeast Long Course Championships, then the Kansas Ironman 70.3 followed by the Black Warrior Triathlon.

Leanda Cave wins Ironman 70.3 Florida

Leanda Cave won the 2008 Ironman 70.3 in Florida and was only narrowly beaten out of the water. Bryan Rhodes had the fastest pro swim split of the day and finished 7th.

A great blueseventy pointzero 3 review

We very much believe in what we do and are super confident that our customers will like our products and find them to be beneficial. Still we always quite enjoy it when a customer or a magazine gives us an enthusiastic thumbs up, kind of like 220 magazine recently did with our blueseventy pointzero 3 swimskin.

A very happy customer

Joerg Schneider from Germany just raced his first race in his blueseventy pointzero 3 swim skin and surprised himself how fast he came out of the water, and how easy it was to shed the swim skin.

blueseventy suits rock Wildflower and St. Croix

Water temperature and locations may have differed, 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, always has warm water temperatures that make wetsuits illegal, but wearing the FINA approved pointzero3+ suits made by blueseventy allowed Bryan Rhodes and Julie Dibens to be the 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 who had the fastest women's swim split were both wearing the newly released Helix full suit from blueseventy.
