Coyote's diector of marketing, Matt Perkins won his fifth straight triathlon world chamionship on September 11th in Budapest, Hungary. Perkins cam out of the water in fifth position but was able to gain time on the bike and run, finally taking the lead with just over a kilometer left in the race. This was the first year that the ITU worlds were using the sprint distance, 750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run. This change was made in am effort to get triathlon into the Paralympics. Previously the race was the Olympic distance, which is two times farther.
