"We are excited to be an Official Sponsor for the Professional Triathletes Organisation and its world class tour of events. Many of the world's top triathletes trust our state-of-the-art multisport smartwatches and GPS cycling computers that are packed with features to prepare them ahead of the big event and perform at an elite level on race day." — Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Marketing
