AMERICAN TRIPLE-T CALIFORNIA ANNOUNCED FOR 2009

Victory Man Racing expands American Triple-T to second venue in Lakeport, CA


(Columbus, Ohio). Victory Man Racing, LLC is pleased to announce the expansion of the American Triple-T Triathlon format to a second venue in Lakeport, California for the 2009 season. This race will be the sister event to the current American Triple-T event based in Portsmouth, Ohio that is going into its seventh year. The new triathlon event is sure to become a classic throughout the west coast.

This epic event is scheduled for the weekend of September 18th through 20th, 2009 in beautiful Lakeport, California, which is just two hours by car from the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sacramento Valley and the Pacific Coast. Lake County is known for its spectacular beauty, unsurpassed recreation, and fine wines as it is nestled between three of the most famous wine areas in the United States - Mendocino, Sonoma, and Napa counties.

The American Triple-T California is a unique 3-day, 4-event, long distance format triathlon with participants competing on 2 person teams or in the solo division. The American Triple-T California is unlike any other triathlon and offers participants intimate camaraderie not often found in traditional triathlons.

"We're excited to bring this fantastic event to Lakeport, California and to the West Coast, showcasing Clear Lake and the area that makes up this great region," said Doug Grout, CEO of Victory Man Racing.

?The athletes should expect a "red carpet" experience featuring lots of attention by the community in Lakeport that is extremely accommodating; and excited to have these athletes competing in their community says Grout.? Athletes will also receive their race shirt, event towel, water bottle and many other goodies provided by key partners and sponsors. The athlete also should look forward to the exclusive ?finisher only shirt? that will place them in a select group of athletes throughout the world.

"Get ready for a ?World-Class? triathlon event - the American Triple-T California will have it all, added Shannon Kurek, Victory Man Racing President and Executive Race Director. From elite
athletes to top age groupers and weekend warriors, the American Triple-T California will truly be special for all participants, spectators and the surrounding communities.?

Register today by visiting www.attcali.com, the field will be limited to first 500 registered participants, which means a very quick sellout. The entry fee for the event is $300 per solo person or $600 for the two person team.

Founded in 2007 by Doug Grout and Shannon Kurek, Victory Man Racing, LLC is an umbrella brand for HFP Racing and Run Wild Racing. The merger strengthened both brands as continued leaders in their respective athletic communities. Victory Man Racing, LLC will allow these thriving organizations to build upon their successes and well-established brand names, as they evolve their passions for sports and desires to be the most respected race management organization in the Midwest and around the globe.

Wonder what type of course it will be? The four triathlons in three days are fun enough, but what made the TTT an epic event were the brutal hills. HFP puts on the best events, this should be good.

That area friggin' ROCKS. I did the now-defunct Tri101 in the same town. The hills are for real, and were especially brutal on the run. I remember some of the pro's, like Hillary Biscay and Leanda Cave saying that they couldn't have made the run course any harder if they had tried- but that's what makes it fun!!

I also believe that it is the same RD. If it is, that is the best news ever, because all of the athletes were treated like rockstars. That was one of my favorite races, and the triple T sounds like it will have the same feel. The lake is gorgeous, the town was extremely supportive, everything about it was awesome. They picked a perfect venue.
