FROM OUR ATHLETES<br />

While cycling is my primary mode of exercise, I joined a fitness program at my place of<br />

work, UCLA. We do a variety of exercises, from straight weightlifting (squats, deadlifts,<br />

etc.) to high-intensity, short interval activities like pushing and pulling weighted sleds.<br />

I attend these workout sessions at noon. It's been hours since breakfast, so I have a<br />

serving of <strong>Hammer</strong> Gel before jogging over to the track. That way I never run out of<br />

"juice" during the workouts.<br />

I competed in the finals of the AWT (American Windsurfing Tour) on<br />

Maui. There were over 120 competitors in total. I placed 5th in the<br />

Pro division, my best result ever on Maui so I was happy with that.<br />

I raced in Bill's Bad Ass 50K trail run in Cuyahoga Valley National<br />

Park. The course consisted of six loops of five miles with an extra<br />

mile climb at the end, with over 4,300 feet of climbing and three<br />

creek crossings per lap. The six-lap format helped me stick with my<br />

<strong>Hammer</strong> <strong>Nutrition</strong> fueling strategy by having a cooler with bottles of<br />

Perpetuem pre-made. I consumed Perpetuem throughout the race,<br />

plus one <strong>Hammer</strong> Gel and two Endurolytes per lap.<br />

My son Cameron and I did the Seal Beach Triathlon. I placed 1st in my age group and<br />

Cameron placed 3rd. I was 2nd overall off of the bike right behind Chris McCormack,<br />

the overall winner (center).<br />
