Testimonials

“I was impressed with the comfort and quality construction of the mat as well as the ample space it provided for me in transition. As a professional, transition times can make all the difference and with the mat's bright colors, I didn't waste a second finding my transition area.” Todd Menzel, Newport Beach, CA Professional Triathlete |

I can see my neon green mat from 100 meters away--that's the difference between 1st and 2nd place. Erin Reed, Arroyo Grande, California World Champion age grouper |

“I made up two minutes on the race leader in the Make a wish Triathlon (Dewey Beach, Delaware) in 2007...30 seconds was due to the transition!!! The transition matt gives you time back.” Kevin Owens, Rockville, Maryland Elite Triathlete |
| “It was freezing at Xterra Nationals--29 degrees. That makes for cold feet, but I got my suit on while standing on the mat—amazing! My feet stayed warm. There was a thick layer of frost on the grass too. No cold bones about it. The mat works great!” Mike Cowdry, Irvine, CA Former Pro triathlete |

"My neon green mat is the best new part of my transition." Lucy Danziger, New York City, NY Self magazine, Editor-In-Chief Top age group triathlete |
| "We ordered 250 mats with our team logo for members of our triathlon team. They were in such a demand, we ran out within an hour of distribution! We received feedback on how cool they were and what a great idea they were. Our only regret was that we didn’t order more!! Seeing these mats proudly displayed at local multisport events will surely be an impressive site!" Ted Shue President, TriWisconsin Triathlon Team |

“It’s nice to finally have a piece of gear to help racers get out of the transition area faster. At my last race, the bright colored mat really stood out, making it easy for me to find my spot. I really liked how the mat kept my gear organized during the race and how the mat gave me a nice space between bikes. I recommend the mat to all my clients.” David Light, Costa Mesa, CA Triathlon coach |

“Easy to use, very compact, lightweight and easy to carry. Cleans transition area debris off your feet and saves transition time by allowing you to better go sockless. Stays put...doesn't move around like a towel." Pete Rennard, Costa Mesa, CA When I wipe my feet, the Lickety-Split mat doesn’t bunch up and gets rid of sand and gravel, making it easier to quickly put on my shoes. With the mat, I know I’m not taking any chances of loosing time. Sherry Boston-Rennard, Costa Mesa, CA Top age group triathlete |
| “My red hibiscus mat was easy to see coming into the transition area and kept me organized during my race. The mat kept my area clean and dry and was easy to clean up after the race was over. No more 10 pound soaking wet towels to deal with after a race!” Abby Zern, Alison Viejo, CA 20-24 year old top age group finisher |
|
| “My spot really stood out in a sea of blue towels, 5 gallon buckets and milk crates when I returned for transitions. It was almost like the space was glowing! Awesome color, that neon green." Dave Welsh, Westminster, Maryland 2007 National qualifier |

“The mat is very useful in shorter races where a fast transition is essential.” John Steed, Newport Beach, CA 18x Ironman finisher |

“I love Lickety-Split’s size, the convenience, and the fact that I could easily find my space when running down a full aisle of over 3,000 competitors. Best thing: I could set up my cycling and running shoes with ease, step on the mat after the swim, squirt my feet with a water bottle after the swim and efficiently get out to the next event. And the Lickety-Split looks cool! Kristin Stilton, Huntington Beach, CA, 3-time Ironman distance finisher |
| I really enjoyed the convenience and usefulness of the Lickety-Split. I will continue to use it at every race!” Brian Owen, Irvine, CA Newport Coast Triathlon Team |
|
| “The mat worked great! Functional and well made (wasted it and it looks as good as new).” Kogan Bao, Irvine, CA Newport Coast Triathlon Team |

I used the Lickety-Split tri mat for the first time at the Wildflower Long Course Triathlon. The appearance of the mat in the transition area looked better than the sea of ancient bath towels that surrounded me. The mat was very comfortable to stand on. After the swim, I squirted water from my water bottle on my feet. It seemed like the mat sucked the gravel off and I was able to quickly wipe my feet off and get my shoes on." Mike Stilton, Huntington Beach, CA A46 age grouper |

"The Lickety-Split mat was the key in finding my area quickly and easily in a field over 4000 bikes." Julia Juliason, Aliso Viejo, CA National age group competitor |
| “Working with Nan was a breeze! We sent our logo and within a few short weeks had 250 custom-made tri mats with the TriWisconsin logo. At our kickoff party, the mats were an instant hit! People eagerly lined up to receive the mats. We cannot wait for the tri season to start to show off our colors and logo in transition. What a fantastic product and one that I will recommend to anyone looking for that little edge in transition, or just a way to stake out your territory for the race. Many thanks to Nan and Lickety-Split for helping us get off to a fantastic start this season! ” Joel Aziere, Franklin, Wisconsin TriWisconsin board member |

"I’m just a mid-pack finisher, however the Lickety-Split transition mat made my transition smoother and more efficient. At a recent race, it rained. Everyone’s towel was soaked, but my mat was good. It really hugs the ground while keeping your area dry and organized. And clean-up is a breeze." Jim Seilsopor, Long Beach, CA Triathlon newcomer |

"My Lickety Splits mat is easy to locate along the transition racks -- much easier than looking for my bike, and easier than counting rows. It stays clean and is easy to roll up after the race and pack away fast. Now that I have the mat, my list of excuses for slow transition times is getting smaller and smaller." Dave Kiff, Laguna Beach, CA 4-time Ironman finisher |

"My mat has made my transition area organized and visible when I get near my transition spot. I have no problem finding my spot from the swim or bike. It is also is very nice to have clean feet going into your shoes. I don't leave home without it. I love my Lickety-Split Transition Mat. " Dan Mathot, Orange, California 2006 USAT All-American |
| "Not only do they look awesome, but what a great item to have to make transitions a little less painful and more organized!" Kristin Schraml, Cedarburg, Wisconsin TriWisconsin board member |

"Being a competitive triathlete and USAT coach, I am always looking for ways to improve my time in transition. The Lickety-Split transition mats are so bright, that you can spot your location from far away! Gone are the days of accidentally running down the wrong isle looking for your spot. Using the bright colored LST Mat, running past your bike is not an option any more!" Karen Smidt, Irvine, CA USAT certified coach Owner of SBR Sports, Inc. (TRISWIM/ TRISLIDE Products) |

"The Lickety-Split transition mat works great. Not only does it make it easier to find my spot in transition, but it doesn’t bunch up and cleans up much easier than a towel. It also folds up nicely and takes up a lot less room in my bag." Chris Elmore, Brea, California Ironman Triathlete Owner, www.tritopics.com |
