And we’re increasing realizing an important part of that is having them be prepared as can possibly be when they walk up to the start line.” “We are in business of providing our athletes with great racing experiences, and that’s always been the true north for our company…and as our company has evolved and grown, and become on our good days a more thoughtful and sophisticated company. In talking to CEO Andrew Messick about the acquisition, he said: They envision this app being the one-stop-shop for everything an athlete needs when preparing for ultimately racing an Ironman event. And by that, they don’t mean iron-distance athletes, but specifically – athletes racing Ironman races. The company says the goal for the Ironman training app is 100% focused on the Ironman athlete. With that quick overview, let’s dive a bit deeper into what’s planned. That has already started from a technical perspective, with FulGaz having just finished transitioning to a much broader server platform which they say provides “100x” more capacity than before, including being distributed across more regions via a new CDN (content distribution network) in front of it. Ironman says that the goal is to give FulGaz the technical resources behind the scenes to continue to grow the FulGaz app and user base – just at a faster trajectory than before. Meanwhile, for those existing FulGaz users, you won’t have to worry about your app going anywhere. Ironman sees this new unnamed app as focused on providing a “one-stop destination where everything you need to be prepared” for an event is located, including suggestions on whether to run a disc wheel, or what typical wind conditions are. This new app will include full rideable courses and course guides for ultimately all Ironman races, as well as virtual races within the app. As part of the acquisition, Ironman will create a secondary app that caters specifically to Ironman athletes. Ironman has just announced the acquisition of FulGaz, the indoor training app for cycling.
