I’m stoked to announce that I’ll be getting some sponsorship from PureSport, a company with premium performance sports drinks that I have been using in training and for recovery.
PureSport offer 2 types of drinks; ‘Workout’ and ‘Recovery.’ Both have the same delicious flavours Banana/Berry, Grape, Fruit Punch and Lemon Lime and contain whey protein, electrolytes, carbs and antioxidants. Aside from the awesome taste, what I love most is it provides me with energy but with a low amount of sugar and electrolytes as well as protein so I can recover quicker and be able to back up training and racing consecutive days.
I spent the weekend mountain biking in Bright this past weekend, it was very hot, hilly and the pace was on. I certainly noticed a difference during the ride, I didn’t run out of energy or get dehydrated. When I got home I had a recovery drink and then I was able to head out and do it all again on Sunday. The powder comes in a handy easy-to-tear-open sachet, I carried a heap in my jersey and conveniently added a sachet of powder every time I filled up my drink bottle in the river. By having 4 different flavours it meant I never get sick of the flavours! This will be great when I race in the 24hour Worlds in Italy as I can keep using the Workout drink right throughout the race, rotating flavours so I don’t get sick of the one flavour. I’ll also be using the recovery drinks in the second half of the 24hour to repair those damaged muscles along the way. Thanks PureSport!!
Here is a Michael Phelps commercial, he is sponsored by them too!!
