FROM OUR ATHLETES<br />
The atypical<br />
[<strong>Hammer</strong>] athlete<br />
For 2013 we've introduced a new column to Endurance News,<br />
highlighting some of the less conventional ways athletes are using our<br />
products. From professionals in the firefighting business, to adventurers<br />
doing things the rest of us only dream about doing, <strong>Hammer</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong><br />
products are used far and wide. Beyond the bike and the running shoes,<br />
here are a few examples of the "atypical athlete."<br />
"For our two-day sky camping trip out of Pemberton, BC, we used paragliders to fly<br />
up to and land on snow fields at about 7,000 ft. By circling in thermals, you can gain<br />
height and therefore fly crosscountry for tens of miles, so we were able to camp on<br />
a different peak each night about 20 miles apart. I was joined by Jesse Williams who<br />
I am recruiting to be my new supporter in the 2013 X-Alps (a hike and paraglide<br />
race across the Alps of Europe). We flew for several hours each afternoon, and<br />
hiked and explored within a several-mile radius of our mountain top campgrounds<br />
in the mornings, fueled by <strong>Hammer</strong> Bars, <strong>Hammer</strong> Gel, Endurolytes Fizz, and a few<br />
Premium Insurance Caps. It was a great adventure!" Photos : Jesse Williams<br />
