COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Triathlon today announced it has signed a four-and-a-half-year agreement with Wahoo Fitness, the global leader in indoor smart trainers and connected cycling computers, as a technological partner supporting the National Governing Body’s elite and amateur athletes, programming and events.
