ABOUT US
Transition Triathlon opened for
business in Leesburg in April 2011. Living and training in
Loudoun County, we saw a need for a place where multi-sport
athletes could find a great selection of gear, apparel and
nutrition under one roof. Through our own and friends'
experiences, we know that picking out triathlon gear involves
very personal choices, so we aimed to create a place where
customers can see the products for themselves, try them on,
feel the fabrics, sample the nutrition. Beyond that, we want
TT to be a place where athletes can hang out, meet like-minded
people, participate in group rides, runs and other activities.
--Alex Korab and Steve Makranczy, co-owners
Steve Makranczy has been racing
triathlon for more than 10 years. Having competed in races
from sprint distance to ironman, he has lots of experience
that he is more than willing to share. Steve is a licensed
massage therapist and practiced massage professionally for
10 years. Many of his clients were athletes and he has a
good working knowledge of the way triathlon training and
competition affects the body. He has coached triathletes for
races of all distances. Steve plans and teaches the majority
of the on site clinics for Transition Triathlon. He is a
full time Real Estate agent who also enjoys fishing,
baseball, and skiing.
Alex Korab has been running
marathons since 1998 and started racing triathlon in 2003.
She finished her first ironman in Lake Placid in 2008 and
followed it with another Lake Placid finish in 2010. Alex is
particularly interested in opening the sport of triathlon to
women and has planned Transition Triathlon accordingly. She
previously worked as a photography professional, managing
teams of photo editors at AOL and USA Today and briefly for
Feld Entertainment who owns the Ringling Brother's Circus.
(insert circus joke here). Alex plans and manages the
inventory and day to day operations at Transition Triathlon.
In her free time Alex enjoys gardening, skiing and playing
with her dogs.
