Planet Sun SportReport – 17 May 2010
Aloha!
The Honolulu Triathon proved to be a successful event for many of the Planet Sun collective. Planet Sun served as suncare provider to the event with many supersized Team Pumps of our PerformanceSportFormulationOne sunscreen for the masses. Mike and Sandy Ferreira continue to shine on, each with 1st place age group finishes. Mike placed 4th overall, boasting the second fastest bike leg of the day. Multi-sport Mermaid, Trish Havey, finished a remarkable 13th overall/6th of all wahanie/2nd in Age. Planet Sun Principals, Paul Sibley and Jeff White, laid it down too- Jeff with a hard earned 3rd place in age. We also unveiled the new Planet Sun UV and Elements Protection Sleeves at the venue to much interest and acclaim. Pics of Mike and Sandy.

On the Horizon.
Shonny Vanlandingham readying for what might be one of her most significant races of the season. On 23 May, Shonny will be in her home state of Texas competing in the XTERRA US Pro Series- South Central Championship. Aside from being the local FAVE who played basketball at East Texas State U, Shonny is just coming off victory in the first Pro Series event, so other Phenoms like three time XTERRA World Champion, Melanie McQuaid will be hot on her heels. No pressure, Shonny!
Shonny appears in a P.S. AD currently featured in Hawaii Sport Magazine.
Anna Mathisen continues her perpetual paddling efforts on 23 May with the PA’A Eono Hoe. Mixed teams in 6 man ocean canoes tackle 32 + miles in the Molokai channel to Oahu. With efforts like this, Anna continues to push our products (and herself) to the limits. You go Girl!
