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.

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. As the leading American-based triathlon wetsuit company, XTERRA WETSUITS provides a significant advantage: without third party distributors, we are able to put additional resources into researching, designing, and manufacturing our suits. The XTERRA WETSUITS research and design team is comprised of world champion triathletes, world record swimmers, Olympic medalists, and passionate age group athletes. 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. XTERRA WETSUITS are designed for maximum buoyancy, maximum flexibility and maximum speed through water. XTERRA WETSUITS are also designed to support the swimmer’s body in the correct horizontal swimming position.

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.
