“I couldn’t be happier about this deal,” said MPA President Mike Plant, a former triathlon writer, photographer and event producer. “It brings me back into close contact with a sport I love and with people whom I admire and respect. It doesn’t matter how long I’ve been in the business, or how many races I’ve been a part of, it’s still a thrill to see our company’s work in action at a National Championship or an Olympic-qualification event.”
