Perkins Wins First National Title

In his fourth attempt at the US Paratriathlon Nationals in New York City, Coyote’s director of marketing Matt Perkins finally won a national title. Perkins who has won the World championships in 06, 07, and 08, but in all three of those years had failed to win the national title until now. “I have not always come into the race in the best of shape, my focus is certainly on worlds, and I have not always had very good races, not to mention the fast racing my the guys around me. It is a tough course, and tough weather conditions. I was tired of always being a bridesmaid though and with the extra training I did for the Half Ironman back home I finally felt ready to race. I definitely had a time in my head that I wanted, but the hot weather always seems to interfere with my expectations, but I am extremely happy with the win. Finally.”
