sunny skies in the emerald city

The sight of bright sunny dry skies is very welcome for us all here in the PNW. The spring has been miserable up to this point, grayer, colder and wetter than what is considered normal, so a few days of happy weather has everyone sheding the coats and reaching for the shades.... ahhh... now it just needs to warm up.

Today I want to talk about 1st Endurance's awesome product line and the stuff I use. First off, EFS drink, in grape flavor, is the staple for me. It gives me the carbs, electrolytes and amino acids to keep the engine turning all day long. I have been experimenting with the low-carbo fueling strategy, even on harder days, and 4hrs seems to be my breaking point, where 1scoop/hour of EFS is enough, but not if I need to go beyond that time. I plan on racing on 2+scoops per hour.   Next up is liquid shot, vanilla. I grab a flask for those long runs, and just hit water fountains along the way. Like EFS drink, liquid shot is a blend of all the goodies necessary to keep the legs cranking.

Ultragen both as a pre-race and post-race fuel is hard to beat. Cappuccino for me, pls. As the name implies, Pre-race (1-2scoops mixed in to EFS drink) helps kick-start early workouts and races. Finally, like a lot of the other guys who use 1st Endurance, I take Optygen HP and their Multi V on a daily basis. If you want to take your racing and training to the next level, don't hesitate to try out these aswesome products. If you don't want to take my word for it, just ask the guys with the bonafide firepower, like Cavendish or the Wurteles.

peace!
