Lance Panigutti
Co-Founder of Without Limits Productions,competed at the highest level of triathlon for over 14 years, racing domestically and internationally as an ITU level Pro. Lance’s passion for event production came during his college years while working as an ocean lifeguard at Compo Beach (Westport, CT). “I use to create rescue relays, Ironguard/rescue challenge, and things everyone else thought couldn’t be done! My only regret is never rescue boarding across Long Island Sound.”
When I came back to the sport post 2005 and started racing professionally around the world, I’d come home to the local Colorado scene and realized something was missing. That same affordable, professionally executed, but welcoming race feel that I experienced growing up was no where to be found.
With my older brother, and co-founder Tony, I was able to take the same creative mentality from my Summer college days and realized every race is a piece of art. “You can shape and mold it any way you’d like, but what it comes down to in the end is giving people something they’ve never seen before. It’s all about giving the athletes something that will test their sense of challenge, awaken their competitive spirit, and change their lifestyle in a positive light. No two races, pieces of art, or two experiences are ever the same, so it’s about giving that WOW factor each and every time out!”
