PR: MyAthlete GPS Athlete Tracking System

September 16th, 2008 by Ron Callahan View Comments

EASTON, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Family and friends from all over the country had a chance to be part of their athlete’s Journey toward Ironman, as 40 lucky athletes sampled FREE MyAthlete real-time live tracking system utilizing the GTX Corp gpVector™ GTX Corp (OTCBB:GTXO) 2way GPS/PLS technology while competing at Ironman Louisville on August 31^st and Ironman Wisconsin on September 7^th.

The accolades continue to come in, with many triathletes confirming they are ready to order the units now not only for racing but for safety in training. Still others are confirming they are now loyal customers and will rent the units for their next Ironman triathlon. Spouses of triathletes advised that MyAthlete units will be a Holiday gift. Ironman Louisville occurred on Labor Day weekend and many triathletes reported phenomenal enthusiasm and support from their families and friends not present at the event, as they tracked the athletes live on the computer screens at home while having the family holiday cook-outs. While Ironman Wisconsin was not on a holiday weekend, the need to be working on Monday made the ability to track their triathlete from home all the more appealing. One ecstatic triathlete phoned in on Monday morning to say “family in California, Arizona and Florida were watching me live and those in Madison knew exactly what street to see me on.”

E-mails included such expressions of gratitude as: “Thank you very much, it was a great help to my spectators,” “…Everything worked great as my nephew could track me from his phone while at the race and my Mom and Dad were able to watch me from home.” and “My wife and family thoroughly enjoyed following the great feeds and as a result knew exactly when to watch….”

In addition to the praise for the results, came in several offers of investment and inquiries for employment with the company. “It is a great product” was a commonly heard phrase.

My Athlete LLC will have its first commercial tracking units available for rent per event starting at the end of September. Interested athletes can place their orders via e-mail to: info@myathlete.biz or agyszkiewicz@myathlete.biz. In addition to accepting orders via e-mail, the units will be available at the sports expos at the Ironman Championship Competition in Kona, Hawaii, the 70.3 Ironman Championship Competition in Clearwater, Florida and at Ironman Arizona in Phoenix.
