Triathlon: Mark Allen and TriGeniX Sports Form Triathlon Team

Boulder, Colorado (January 10th 2005):

MarkAllenOnline.com a leader in triathlon coaching is partnering with TriGeniX Sports to form an elite triathlon age group team.

MarkAllenOnline.com is currently accepting triathlon resumes from age group athletes who would like to be part of this exciting new team for 2005. The TriGeniX MarkAllenOnline team members will participate in at least five triathlons this upcoming season with 500 or more competitors and represent the team and its partners with competitive results and a high level of sportsmanship. Team members are expected to wear the team race gear at all races in 2005. Team members will receive TriGeniX nutritional products and many other benefits from our partners. However, in an unprecedented move, team members will be eligible for the "TriGeniX Medal Bonus" where team members will receive cash bonuses for podium places at major triathlons.

The TriGeniX MarkAllenOnline elite triathlon team will be required to sign up for coaching and use the online services available at MarkAllenOnline for all of 2005, at our yearly membership rate (about half off the regular coaching price). This membership will give team athletes all the benefits provided by MarkAllenOnline including email consultation with 6-time Ironman champion Mark Allen. In addition Luis Vargas co-founder and coach at MarkAllenOnline will be providing extended coaching services to all team members. Luis will be the team head coach and will be the main contact for all team questions.

Team members will be featured at www.markallenonline.com and will provide feedback, race results and action pictures to be posted on the site.

TriGeniX System Sports will sponsor the "TriGeniX Medal Bonus" for all team members. Culley Davis, the CEO at One World Nutrition the maker of TriGeniX, is committed to the sport of triathlon. He was a finisher at the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii held in 2004 and understands the challenges and commitment required by age group athletes in order to compete in the sport. Culley wants to reward those athletes who achieve excellence in their races for 2005 and as a result has created the "TriGeniX Medal Bonus" as follows for age group podium finishes.

·	1st Place $300.00
·	2nd Place $200.00
·	3rd Place $100.00

A podium photo has to be provided along with a verifiable result at races of Olympic distance or longer with at least 500 individual competitors overall and 20 or more competitors in your age group.

In addition, athletes who qualify and successfully complete the Ironman World Championships in Kona will be eligible for reimbursement of the Kona Entry fee.

The team will be limited to fifteen athletes. The selection process will be based on the following criteria.

1. Prior results and/or potential ability to place at major triathlons.
2. Your desire to be coached by MarkAllenOnline and follow the training methods developed by Mark Allen.
3. Your location. We desire to have representation in all major population areas in the US.

MarkAllenOnline and TriGeniX hope that you apply to be a member of our team. If you are committed to be the best you can be, we will provide you with the coaching and a nutritional system to get you there. If you are selected to the elite TriGeniX MarkAllenOnline team, you will receive products and services from our partners over the course of your season that are worth significantly more than the coaching fee required from each participant in the program. Companies who desired to be part of this team are welcomed to contact Luis.
