Laura and Greg Bennett, our favorite triathlete couple!

Back from a nasty respiratory illness, Craig Alexander overcame a 9 minute gap between him and race leader Maik Twelsiek during the triathlon’s 26.2 mile marathon route to become the Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene champion. What a comeback! Craig finished the race with a time of 8 hours, 19 minutes, and 48 seconds setting a new course record. Well done Crowie!

Laura Bennett remains in 4^th place overall in the ITU World Championship Series rankings. Her 6^th place finish at the ITU Kitzuhel Triathlon was her 7^th consecutive top 10 finish during the World Championship Series. Her Husband and fellow H2O Audio ambassador, Greg Bennett placed 3^rd in last weekend’s Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon.

Greg and Laura are also featured in this summer’s edition of USA Triathlon Magazine talking about their path towards the 2012 Olympics and gracing the cover we might add!

Also to note, Natalie Coughlin made her 16^th appearance in the past 17 years at the annual Santa Clara International Grand Prix swim meet. She wrote about the meet and what it means to her on her USA swimming blog.

Doh!

It’s always sad when it happens, but it does from time to time…packaging gets damaged, but the product inside is perfectly fine.  We can’t sell headphones when their packaging looks like this, but we can give them away!  Head to our Facebook page to post about how you ruined a pair of headphones….we’ll pick a few of the stories we like best and hook you up with a pair of Envy Green Flex All Sport Buds.  The packaging may be a bit dented, but the headphones are still 100% waterproof and ready to rock your world!

We love it when you stop by our website, but sometimes, you just can’t wait for the mail carrier to deliver your H2O Audio goods.  When you need waterproof music and need it now, go local!  We’re in hundreds of stores across the United States and we’ve updated our Dealer Locator to make it easier than ever to find a store stocked with our waterproof headphones and cases near you.  Featuring a new mapping feature and expanded database, new waterproof gear could be just around the corner.*

And, if you’re one of those folks who needed a quick H2o Audio fix, take a picture of yourself with H2O Audio at your local store and post it on our Facebook page.  We’ll pick a few of our favorite pics and kit you out with every accessory we’ve got for your new waterproof purchase, plus we’ll even throw in a free T-shirt!

*It’s always a good idea to call your local store to make sure they have what you’re looking for before making your trek as stock may vary slightly from store to store.

Ever wonder what an H2O Audio ad would look like on the other side of the globe?

Here are some pictures taken by our newest distributor, Yutron, all the way from Hong Kong. We’re thrilled to see that people all over the world are as amped about H2O Audio as we are!

Look at all that gold! *Bling*Bling*!

We’re proud to be partnered with USA Water Polo to help them train to be their best.  That’s why we couldn’t help but post about the U.S. Women’s National Team winning the gold at the FINA World Super League Final in Tianjin, China.

The ladies defeated Italy in the championship game with a score of 9-7.  This is the sixth World League Super Final Championships and the fifth straight FINA title for the women’s national team.
