Multisports Weekly January 24 Broadcast

Greg was on hiatus this week, so it was just Coach TJ responsible for this trainwreck of a show. Come watch him screw up people’s names; watch the dogs interfere with the show, and all the fun associated with it. I also made the mistake only creating a 30 minute “schedule” instead of an hour, so the show got “chopped up” into two parts.

You can watch the show live, or watch archives of the show at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/multisports-weekly

GU Energy

For 2010, we will again be representing Gu Energy and using their products as our sole source of race nutrition for triathlons, as well as single sport racing and training. In 2009, we made the switch to Gu Energy, and did so well with their products, we did not look back. Lately we have been racing and training with two of their newest flavors, Pineapple Roctane and Vanilla Gingerbread Gu.

GU Energy Gel, the original energy gel, was launched in 1994 in Berkeley, CA. To this day, GU remains the market share leader and the premium gel available to endurance athletes. GU Energy Gels and their companion electrolyte drink, GU2O, are designed to provide athletes with scientifically-proven, performance-tested nutrition.

XTERRA Wetsuits

In 2009, XTERRA Wetsuits helped out with our open water swim clinics and our triathlon and open water swim efforts. At Big Shoulders 5k/2.5k National Championship, I swam to 5th place in my age group wearing a Velocity .02 Speedsuit. I’m happy to announce that for 2010, XTERRA Wetsuits will again be sponsoring me, and I’ll be wearing their wetsuits and speedsuits again.

XTERRA WETSUITS, the world’s fastest and most flexible wetsuit, have been designed and engineered to improve your open water swimming ability.

The end result: the fastest and best performing triathlon wetsuits in the industry.

Since 2001, XTERRA WETSUITS has manufactured high performance triathlon wetsuits. Over the years of training and racing, the XTERRA WETSUITS design team has perfected all aspects of the triathlon wetsuit.

Measuring Improvements in your swimming efficiency

Here’s a great article by Mike Koerner about measuring your swimming efficiency. This is one of the things that I tend to preach about. I like to define efficiency as using less energy to go the same speed, or better yet, going faster with the same amount of effort/energy. Triathletes really understand the importance of this, as we have to bike and run afterwards, so we can’t empty the tank on the swim. Additionally, even our “sprint” distance triathlon swims tend to be anything but a sprint.

I am very happy to announce a continued relationship with Uvex for the 2010 racing season.  For 2009, we raced in a Uvex aero helmet, and absolutely loved their products.  We look forward to continuing to represent Uvex for 2010.
