Team Timex Tri Tanks from past years
After an an early morning swim at a nearby high school and breakfast at the Timex Performance Center, Team Timex was shuttled across the Meadowlands Sports Complex to the New Giants Stadium. There, the team was directed to the field level Coaches Club, which was adorned with banners celebrating winning Team Timex athletes since 2003. Also on display were the team tri tanks representing each season of the 10-year history. The triathletes were able to walk out on to the sidelines taking in the enormity that is New Giants Stadium from this rare point-of-view.
Team Timex attended a presentation by Timex Sales and Marketing executives in the Coaches Club, which wrapped up with yet another surprise. They were led to the Giants locker room where they found each locker personalized with a Timex Multisport Team placard with their names and backpacks loaded with gear for the 2011 season. Items included tri-tops, running shorts, jackets and hats. The team was ecstatic!

Presentation by Ronnie Barnes
Tonight the Timex Multisport Team, celebrating its tenth season, kicked off training camp at the Timex Performance Center, headquarters to the NFL’s New York Football Giants. Almost fifty multisport athletes from across America and around the world convened for this annual event. The evening started with a tour of the facilities, which included the Team Meeting Room, broadcast TV studio, weight training room, locker room and field house.
Following dinner in the Timex Performance Center cafeteria, athletes, members of the press and Timex staff and associates gathered for the welcoming presentation in the Team Meeting Room. Ronnie Barnes, VP of Medical Services for the NY Giants, spoke of the importance of properly conditioning and training to prevent and care for injuries. He revealed that the most common football injuries he sees were parallel with the most common injuries triathletes have to contend with.
The presentation wrapped up with a surprise: Timex’s Favorite Things, in which each team member received the new Timex Race Trainer Pro along with other gifts.
Timex welcomes the multisport team members of 2011 and wishes them a successful and competitive year.
