UnExcused Absence

The first line is starting to be too repetitive...been too long since I blogged. My last two blogs were about being kicked while down and my 70.3 Lubbock race report.  After Lubbock, I was fortunate enough to go to Vail, Colorado for BRAIN Bike put on byCervelo.  They talk all about their bikes, their new lines, etc.  For a bike geek like me, it was great. After that it was off to Europe to train with…See More

70.3 Lubbock Nutrition Report

Well, this was to be an interesting race.  It was kind of a comeback race of sorts.  I had a weird hip flexor injury the last part of April and all of May.  My first run steps were 4 weeks before Lubbock.  The 70.3 would be my longest run in about 8 weeks.  The weeks leading into the race, Texas had some ridiculously hot weather.  It was heat that we do not usually see until August. Anyway, about 9 or so days before the race I did a pretty popular 95ish mile route in Austin.  It was a record…See More

Kicked When Down

Ever time I write I say it.  Man, has it already been 'x' number of weeks since my last blog!?  Yep, three weeks already. Well, in those three weeks, not a whole lot has occurred.  Other than my daily regimen of FE Multivitamins and Optygen, I have not been much of a user of the products.  I was meant to do 70.3 St. Croix not quite 2 weeks ago.  I was meant to follow that up with Ironman Brazil at the end of May.  But, while in Thailand on training camp, I strained my hip flexor.  It seemed to…See More

1Q 2011...Time Flies

This will be my 2nd blog this week...but not to this site.  I will be more regular at posting.  I will post my nutritional reports after races.  Obviously, maybe not so obvious to some, I am way past due for a First Endurance Blog.  I actually drafted one up a few weeks ago.  Like my other blog post on the TeamTBB (Team The Bike Boutique) I could give a list of excuses why I haven't…See More

Race Reports, Catch-Up

It has been awhile since my last post. For Amy and me it was a summer in Europe. I race Ironman UK, then 2 weeks later I followed it up with the Embrunman Triathlon in France. Back to the states, and I was there at Ironman Wisconsin again this year looking to improve on my 9th place finish last season.Ironman UK was in Bolton, England. I had just about enough First Endurance product to use for the race. Pretty basic with 2 bottles of about 600 calories each in them of Liquid Shot. I consumed…See More

"Brandon, Your plan looks pretty solid for race day nutrition and it pretty much mirror's Amy's plan and she came through without a glitch. The only difference I see is the Nescafe coffees. Have you used those in the past? I'd like to…"

IM China Nutrition and Race Report

I have been a bit remiss in my activity here at the Team site. Amy and I have been in Thailand for a TeamTBB training camp since early February.A week or so ago, I raced IM China. You can find my race report here, but it was indeed a survivor kind of day.I hesitate to post my nutrition report because on the surface it did not work 100%. You can never be too sure what caused the cramps, but at the end...I was…See More

Using Pre-Race Over Extended Time Periods

Robert and Team,I got the following question from one of my athletes:I am still playing with the Pre-race mix inall my water bottles, for the long stuff (3+ hours).  To the tune of1/2 scoop or less of EFS mix with 1/2 scoop or less of pre-race in eachbottle.  So far no problems and I think the pre-race is keeping meinterested and alert longer.  Or could just be the placebo affect. Question: Me not understanding the key ingredients in pre-race can yousee adverse affects of taking 3-4 total…See More

Needing a 'Fix'

I guess you could call it a First Endurance 'fix'. I'm waiting on the bars to be available! Amy and I will usually eat one before an early morning workout or during a long ride, and we are down to our last few!Anyhoo, I'm glad to be officially on the team this year after using FE products for several years now.I have a blog post on Brandonmarsh.com that should be up this evening about the FE products that I/we use. It's pretty much all…See More

Brandon Marsh commented on Sonja's blog post 6 Days off GF Diet (ie normal diet)

Giddy Up

It's already March. We're placing another order of FE fuel to get us rolling...proper...for the season.  Previously, our orders have mostly consisted of the MultiV as well as Optygen.  We don't take Optygen year round, but we do for most of the year.  But, since we are definitely in 'ramp up' mode and the training is starting to get a little more solid, it's definitely time to to add the Optygen to the routine.

This order will consist more of EFS and some Liquid Shot as well as a…

Brandon,
Welcome to our new site. We highly welcome your extensive experience and also hope you can gain something from the nutrition programs we are testing. I'll be down at J&A over memorial day week and have a talk/ride scheduled with the shop. Would love to get a chance to meet you face to face.
