History - Without Limits Production, WLP for short was created in November of 2007. It was after years of planning and formulating the race series that the Panigutti brothers decided to put it into motion. Lance and Tony have been attending and competing in Triathlon races around the world since 1996. Tired with the complacency of the long standing Tri-series around the country, they decided to bring a fresh, affordable, and innovative perspective to the sport they love. Their sporting history encompasses swimming, cross country, cycling, Xterra, & triathlons ranging from the local to national and pro/ITU stages. The Gutti's realized that with all of their backgrounds and all of the events completed, each and every venue had something very different and exciting to offer. So during one afternoon at Waterworld where inspiration seemed to be coming from all over, they decided to abandon the then idea of formulating a tubular tire company and bring their vision of a Triathlon and Open Water Swim Series to the masses.
Without Limits Staff
Tony Panigutti(Race Director/Operations), Co-Founder of Without Limits Productions has been involved in endurance sports for over 20 years. Beginning in sports from an early age, and most recently taking that passion to the race director position. Coming from a swimming background growing up, Tony competed in his first triathlon in 1996, The Hyannis Sprint Triathlon on Cape Cod, where he was instantly hooked the second he got a glimpse of the finish line. Since that first triathlon Tony has competed in various distance ranging from local sprints, half iron distance races, to national championships. While triathlon is his main focus that doesn’t stop him from cycling races, running events, skiing, mountain biking, and many other athletic pursuits. You’re likely to see him standing next to you at the starting line of your local race as you are holding the bullhorn at a Without Limits Event. “It was such an incredible feeling to finish my first triathlon that I can remember it so vividly 13 years later. To organize events and see others achieve their goals and dreams, is what race directing is all about.”
Lance Panigutti(Race Director/Promotions-Marketing-PR), Co-Founder of Without Limits Productions.Lance, better known as "GUTTI” has been competing at the highest level of triathlon for over 13 years, racing domestically and internationally as a Pro ITU athlete.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 come up with some crazy relay races, rescue challenges, and things everyone thought couldn’t be done. My only regret was never organizing a rescue board race over to Long Island. When I came back to the sport of triathlon (post-college) I took that same creative mentality and realized every event is a piece of art. You can shape it, mold it, but most of all we want to give something the people have never seen before. Something that will test their sense of challenge, awakens their spirit, and changes their lifestyle in a positive light. No two races, two pieces of art, or two experiences are the same so it’s all about giving the athletes that WOW factor each and every time out!”
“Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ~Harold Whitman
