Huntington Beach, CA - November 29, 2011 – TYR is excited to announce the availability of triathlon’s new premiere wetsuit: the TYR Hurricane Freak of Nature™.  Available on TYR.com and at select retailers, the “Freak” is constructed of 100% 40 cell Nano SCS Yamamoto neoprene and able to stretch over seven times its static state.  Elevation panels throughout the chest, core, and thighs, along with a .17 specific gravity, enable triathletes to keep their body properly positioned in the water. Triathletes seeking top of the line speed and luxury along with a unique customer experience will get the total package in TYR’s Hurricane Freak of Nature.  The wetsuit is packaged in a TYR branded steel briefcase with a custom Freak of Nature swim cap, a wetsuit care kit, and a member card with an individualized access code.  Freak of Nature customers will be able to register at tyr.com/limitswillfall for exclusive benefits and contests. “Freak” customers will also be eligible to win a slot in the Ironman U.S. Championship. To enter the contest, Freak of Nature owners must first register their wetsuit at tyr.com/limitswillfall, where they will be prompted to write a caption for a photo.  Captions will be judged on originality, humor, and the spirit of triathlon.  For more information on the official rules of the TYR Hurricane Freak of Nature Ironman New York 2012 Contest, visit tyr.com/limitswillfall/officialrules.
