Boulder, CO (April 26, 2001) -- Biometrics, Inc., creator of PC Coach®
Athletic Training Software, has signed on as the Official Software Sponsor of
USA Triathlon for an additional four years (2001 - 2004). PC Coach has been
the official software supplier of USA Triathlon since 1996, supporting the USAT
with both cash and product sponsorship. USA Triathlon is the national governing
body of triathlon and duathlon in the United States, sanctioning over 700 events
each year.

Since the introduction of the PC Coach Mike Pigg Triathlon Training Plan in
1996, PC Coach has helped thousands of USA Triathlon members attain their
triathlon goals. Co-authored by Dr. Philip Maffetone, Mike Pigg's Triathlon
Training Plan incorporates the heart rate training theories that Mike uses in his
own training. The Plan creates a training schedule based on desired race format
(Sprint, Half-Iron, Ironman), hours per week of training time, current health and
fitness level, and percentage of training time in each sport. Each scheduled
workout recommends the workout type, maximum heart rate, and workout
duration. Every three weeks, the plan assesses the athlete's progress through
an evaluation workout and recommends future training based on the results.

The Mike Pigg Triathlon Plan is just one of the training plans available in the Pro
Training Series. Other titles in the series include the PC Coach Cycling Plan,
Coach Roy Benson's Heart Rate Running Plan, Jeff Galloway's Marathon/Half
Marathon Training Plan, Uta Pippig's Marathon Plan, and Arturo Barrios' 10K
Plan. The training plans are designed as modules to work in conjunction with
the PC Coach Elite software logbook, providing a training calendar to log
workout data and a graphing tool to analyze long-term progress and training
trends. Each plan offers athletes of all abilities access to world-class coaching
by setting up a training schedule based on the training philosophy of the coach.

With the introduction of PC Coach 3.1 this April, PC Coach continues to support
all SonicLink-compatible heart rate monitors from Polar, the official heart rate
monitor supplier to USA Triathlon. SonicLink is a revolutionary data transfer
technology which allows athletes to quickly and affordably record their workout
data to their personal computers. SonicLink uses the beeping function found in
sports watches and heart rate monitors to transmit workout data. This data is
directly received by a computer's microphone, eliminating the need for a costly
download interface.
