REED STARTS SEASON AT PHOENIX ROCK-N-ROLL HALF MARATHON
"I felt that a great way to kick off my 2010 training would be 3 weeks of training and then a hit-out at the half marathon to see a base point. The Rock-n-Roll races are great events and I love taking the starting line with the super fast runner boys. I am off for 3 weeks of training at sea level and then back home for 4 weeks at home. My opening race is Miami International, where I have won twice so I am looking forward to heading to Florida in March."

US OLYMPIAN MATTY REED SIGNS WITH BARRACUDA GOGGLES
Portland, Oregon - US Olympic Triathlete Matty Reed has signed a new deal to race and train with Barracuda swim goggles. One of the world's elite triathletes, Reed now uses Barracuda's new Hydrobat goggles.
"I tested them during my training sessions and then wore them in a race and just loved them," said Reed, "They really stay in place in rough water and when I pop my head up to get my bearings I have a wide field of vision."
Reed liked the goggles so much he immediately signed on with the Lake Oswego, Oregon based company.
"We are very excited to have signed Matty," says Rick Runkle, owner of Barracuda. "The Hydrobat goggle was designed to accommodate the caliber of athlete Matty represents as well as a competitive swimmer at the club and high school level.
The Hydrobat goggles were designed for competitive swimming in a pool or in open water. Under each lens there are three small holes or flutes that direct water away from the lenses and create hydro-static pressure which better holds the goggles in place. This is vital during a dive, flip-turn or splashing through the waves.
Reed recently won the Chicago Triathlon wearing the Hydrobat goggles and is one of the first elite athletes in the world to get the pair of revolutionary goggles. Reed will wear the Hydrobat goggles in all his upcoming races.
Hydrobats are available in four different colors; Clear, Smoke, Silver Mirrored and Teal Mirrored. Hydrobat Clear and Smoke sell for $15, and Silver Mirrored and Teal Mirrored for $17.
Barracuda is a brand owned by Skyline Northwest Corporation. Established in 1979, the Lake Oswego-based company designs and manufactures precision sport optics, including Bugz Performance Eyewear, Barracuda Swim Products and Sight Shield Protective Eyewear.

Matt "Boom Boom" Reed is one of the most decorated triathletes in competition today. A 2008 U.S. Olympian and defending national triathlete champion, Reed has been a dominant force in the triathlon world since 1994. Born in New Zealand, Reed now lives and trains in Boulder, Colorado.
