"The TriGrandPrix Series has added a spark in the professional triathlon community with its commitment to providing athlete care.  This focus on athlete care, along with the exciting new racing venues in places you would normally only dream about, sets the stage for a series of events that you will regret if you miss." Leanda Cave, 2010 TriGrandPrix World Champion, 3 times Ironman 70.3 World Champion and course record holder.
