Tim Don Debuts Recon Jet Smart Eyewear in Professional Triathlon Race

Four-time world champion uses Recon Jet at Ironman 70.3 North American Pro Championships in St. George, Utah

St. George, USA – May 8, 2017 – Recon Instruments, an Intel company, is proud to announce that their Recon Jet

smart eyewear for cyclists and runners has been used in professional Ironman triathlon competition this weekend, for

the first time. Four-time ITU World Champion Tim Don relied on the Jet smart eyewear to instantly deliver his

performance data such as time, distance, pace, heart rate and more while competing in the Ironman 70.3 North

American Pro Championships in St. George, Utah on Saturday.

“Using the Recon Jet in a race setting made perfect sense, as it’s been an extremely helpful tool during my training

both for my cycling and running.” said Don in the wake of his 4th place at Ironman 70.3 in St. George, an event he has

won previously. “Being able to have access to a host of important performance metrics without the need to constantly

raise your wrist or even look down allows me to maintain my form and save energy while helping make sure I’m

squeezing every second I can, in this instance, out of the run leg of the race.”

Recon Jet is an advanced smart eyewear solution for sports and high-intensity environments. Featuring a dual-core

processor, on-board GPS, and high-contrast display, Jet connects seamlessly to leading smartphones and fitness

sensors, delivering contextually relevant information just below the user’s right eye. Jet’s modular design features

interchangeable lenses and also allows users to swap in spare batteries on the go, enabling prolonged use at any

hour, in any weather.

Known for his running prowess, with a 10K personal best of just 28:56, Don won his first World Championship as a

junior triathlete in 1998 and is still going strong, winning Ironman 70.3 North American World Championships in 2015

as well as turning in a solid 15th place at Ironman World Championship Kona. This year, Tim’s season has got off to

a fantastic start with Ironman 70.3 wins in both Mexico and China.

With constant access to pertinent performance metrics, Don closely monitors how his body is performing and paces

himself accordingly thanks to Recon Jet. Don was able to use Jet to post an incredibly fast a run time in St George.
