The only sunglasses that last " forever "

How often have you sat on sunglasses?

How many pair have you broken?

Pro-athlete approvedWorld-class pro athletes like short-course triathlon star and model Juliano Teruel, Ironman triathlon champion Tom Evans, duathlon national champion and surf rescuer Kevin Danahy, beach volleyball duo Raphael Zurgilgen and Marco Fölmli, and the EmmenSkaters inline squad endorse the sunglasses and wear them in and out of competition. TN Sunglasses also have a sponsorship presence in auto racing, cross-country skiing, rowing, and extreme sports.

Swiss-made TN Sunglasses, now available in the U.S. and Caribbean, solve the problem with sleek, comfortable, flexible, virtually unbreakable, high-style sports sunglasses.
What makes these sunnies so exceptional? Tie the frames in a knot, undo it, and they take their original shape. The secret is in the material. TN Sunglasses frames are based on the proprietary TSM System™, an optimal material-plus-design combination, and crafted of a Swiss, flexible, stable fiber that is highly durable, comfortable and lightweight. The most popular model, Force One, weighs only 23 grams with the lenses.
Vigorously tested, TN polycarbonate lenses are distortion-free, impact- and scratch-resistant, and they surpass European and American guidelines for high-performance sunglasses. Of the five models, several include multiple lenses to adjust to changing light conditions. All provide 100% UVA+B+C protection, and all are available in polarized or non-polarized. The Deluxe model offers a PVC clip-in frame to accommodate prescription lenses.

Look Whos Talking -Jay Prasuhn (Riviera Magazine)

THE TRI LIFE! Meet the triathlete who does more pre-dawn than his famous Type A neighbors do before dusk. The best part? He’s a softie.Juliano Teruel can add “cover boy” to his beefy (and beefcakey) résumé.Glistening, tan and oh-so-Brazilian, the 30-year-old tri champ and top Ironman finisher just graced the Encinitas-based Triathlete magazine—further proof that North County is the global epicenter of the swim/bike/run sport founded at Fiesta Island in 1974. The perennially beautiful weather and variety of training topography has drawn a bevy of the world’s top triathletes, from Scott Tinley to Mark Allen. Teruel was a national Brazilian swim champ who fell just shy of making the 1996 Olympics at the age of 16, which catapulted him to a new dream. It’s one that doesn’t come easy. Days start before dawn with a 5,000-meter swim in Solana Beach. After a quick carb-load breakfast at nearby Java Depot, he departs for a 115-mile round-trip bike ride to Mount Palomar, tackling the 4,000- foot climb with ease. Back home, he’s not done: time for a 90-minute trail run, skirting sunbathing rattlesnakes. And what of his “down time?” If he’s not training personal clients, he’s modeling, operating a budding bike export business to Brazil, working at his newly created youth triathlon program at the Boys & Girls Club and donating time to the ITP Foundation, which helps children with a rare blood disorder. Teruel defines multitasker—absent four walls and a desk. “Time is all we have,” he says.This from a guy who runs a 5K in 15:42.

Triathlon and Multi-sports

A triathlon is an endurance sports event consisting of swimming, cycling and running over various distances. As a result, proficiency in swimming, cycling, or running alone is not sufficient to guarantee a triathlon athlete a competitive time; trained triathlon athletes have learned to race each stage in a way that preserves their energy and endurance for subsequent stages. In most modern triathlons, these events are placed back-to-back in immediate sequence and a competitor's official time includes the time required to "transition" between the individual legs of the race, including any time necessary for changing clothes and shoes.

History
According to triathlon historian and author Scott Tinley, the origin of triathlon is anecdotally attributed to a race in France during the 1920s-1930s that was called variously "Les trois sports", "La Course des Débrouillards", and "La course des Touche à Tout". Nowadays, this race is held every year in France near Joinville-le-Pont, in Meulan and Poissy. In 1920, the French newspaper "L´Auto" reported on a competition called "Les Trois Sports" with a 3 km run, 12 km bike, and a swim across the channel Marne. Those three parts were done without any break. There are also articles in French newspapers about a race in Marseille in 1927. There is a 1934 article about "Les Trois Sports" (the three sports) in the city of La Rochelle, a race with: (1) a channel crossing (c. 200 m), (2) a bike competition (10 km) around the harbor of La Rochelle and the parc Laleu, and (3) a run (1200 m) in the stadium André-Barbeau.

[edit] Modern triathlon
Early triathlons were held as off-beat training exercises for runners. The first known swim/bike/run triathlons were held at Mission Bay, San Diego, California in 1974. Organized by members of the San Diego Track Club, the events were held on summer evenings and were intended as no more than light-hearted breaks in the normal grind of training for marathons and 10Ks. This occurrence is well-documented and was not based on the French events. Amongst them were runners, swimmers and cyclists and before long, training sessions turned into informal races. Directed and conceived by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan, the first Mission Bay Triathlon was held on September 25, 1974 and welcomed 46 athletes. This date is celebrated as the day modern triathlon began.

[edit] Ironman
The first modern long-distance triathlon event was the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon. It included a 2.4-mile (3.86-kilometre; 77 lap) swim, a 112 mi (180.2 km) bike ride, and a 26.2 mi (42.195 km) run. It was conceived during the awards ceremony for the 1977 Oahu Perimeter Relay (a running race for 5-person teams).
Among the participants were numerous representatives of both the Mid-Pacific Road Runners and the Waikiki Swim Club, whose members had long been debating which athletes were more fit: runners or swimmers. On this occasion, U.S. Navy Commander John Collins pointed out that a recent article in Sports Illustrated magazine had declared that Eddy Merckx, the great Belgian cyclist, had the highest recorded "maximum oxygen uptake" of any athlete ever measured, so perhaps cyclists were more fit than anyone. Collins and his wife, Judy, had taken part in the triathlons staged in 1974 and 1975 by the San Diego Track Club in and around Mission Bay, California, as well as the Optimist Sports Fiesta Triathlon in Coronado, California in 1975.
A number of the other military athletes in attendance were also familiar with the San Diego races, so they understood the concept when Collins suggested that the debate should be settled through a race combining the three existing long-distance competitions already on the island: the Waikiki Roughwater Swim (2.4 mi/3.862 km), the Around-Oahu Bike Race (115 miles (185 km); originally a two-day event) and the Honolulu Marathon (26.219 mi/42.195 km). No one present had ever done the bike race so they did not realize it was a two-day, not one-day, event. Collins calculated that, by shaving 3 miles (5 km) off the course and riding counter-clockwise around the island, the bike leg could start at the finish of the Waikiki Rough Water and end at the Aloha Tower, the traditional start of the Honolulu Marathon. Prior to racing, each athlete received three sheets of paper listing a few rules and a course description. Handwritten on the last page was this exhortation:
“
Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!
”

— Commander Collins, (1978)
With a nod to a local runner who was notorious for his demanding workouts, Collins said:
“
Whoever finishes first, we'll call him the Ironman.
”

— Commander Collins, (1978)
Of the fifteen men to start off in the early morning on February 18, 1978, twelve completed the race and the world's first Ironman, Gordon Haller, completed it in 11 hours, 46 minutes, and 58 seconds.

Good Morning!!!!As of today i decided to get a bit more serious with my off season and go to the gym, do more running and a lot of swimming as well.
I still hold some good conditions that would keep me motivated and felling pretty good in all 3 sports.
I have done a different season and kept it very simple for my sponsor TN-Sunglasses and Ceepo.
It was very good to finish the season strong and with good training Partners like Fabio Cravalho(2x times Brazilian champ), Ronnie Schildknecht (2x ironman switzerland champ and 4th hawaii 2008) and Stefan Riesen(switzerland camp in 2006 and 2nd switzerland 2008), great guys and athletes, that got me to push myself more than i have lately and showed me I can be a much better athlete and that I have the talent to perform like I want in the sport.
The great thing that I don't want to forget about is the whole and main reason why I do this sport, it's the challenge, the fun, the people, the energy, but mainly to set a good example to younger athletes and do that with the right image caring my sponsors that support me.
I wish Everyone could do what they truly love, when you have passion for things life is truly fun and good, even making little money you can be happy and set good examples to others.
I will be posting videos and new promotional stuff from my sponsors, I will give tips to the ones that would like to get some for the new off season, the new year to come with the right approach and attitude in the sport.
I will have the SBTC (Solana Beach Triathlon Club) videos and everything else posted here as well.
Have to go take some Herbalife vitamins, watch my Ironman video and get fired up for my run! please feel free to ask questions and be a part of the blog if you like.
Tchau!
