"ok. Thanks Robert. I've been using "the right stuff" for acute sodium loading and races but will look into ELETE for day to day training."

"You might consider ELETE. They have a liquid electrolyte product that may work well for you. "

3rd Place Pucon Ironman 70.3 (Heather Gollnick)

by Heather Gollnick

I was excited to be heading to Chile for the first 70.3 of the year. Last year was a long frustrating year of injury. After several frustrating months and a few MRI s later, I discovered that I had a torn glute medius muscle, (a fairly small but important muscle in stabilizing the hips). It plays a large part in biking and running but my doctor also had me take off swimming as well. For those who have had an injury such as this you quickly understand that it is…

How do we lowly age groupers score First Endurance Apparel? :o)
Have been seeing it on some of the Team FE blogs.
We would love to get our hands on some jerseys or shorts to help advertise/endorse the products.
Linda-Ann Newsome...the other half of "Team Newsome" :o)

At 2:00pm on May 12, 2009, Pam Seidler said…: Hey Robert - your sodium loading protocol worked! No cramping in my last race! The race prior I forgot to add extra sodium to my during race drink, and I think that made a difference. I can't taste my food with all that sodium, but it's worth it to not be in pain! Thanks so much!!

Thanks for putting me on the feature!!! I really appreciate that!!! The more exposure the better... I' am working on my ideas for the team page and will be getting to that and my nutrition/race report from Rage here shortly. I have also decided to go with two of the guys from the newly formed Team FEE to race 'the worlds toughest half' in auburn, ca. coming up here at the end of may just before IM CDA... I am going to go for a run at Steve Larsens bike course record ;)

Let me know what you think we can do to my page to make it better... AJ is on the team and has one other outstanding athlete to bring aboard from the Salt Lake area. This is going to be very good for the team!!!!

5 guys will be down racing in St. George this weekend, we will get some pic's and a group shot with everyone for the team page. Sweet!!!

Ride On!

At 9:49am on April 7, 2009, Joanna Zeiger said…: Hey there. Just did NO 70.3 Luckily, stomach was good. On the bad side, melted down in the heat. Dizzy for the entire run. Needed 2 bags of fluid after the race.

At 11:56am on April 1, 2009, Pam Seidler said…: Thanks for your info on sodium loading, Robert! I haven't had a chance to try it yet, as I'm in taper mode for my first race. I'll try it for a hard training session when our weather gets warmer here. Another snow storm today - uggg! Looking forward to testing out the protocol and I'll for sure let you know how it goes. Thanks for your concern!
Cheers!
