BLUE SEVENTY, Parachutes, and Open Water

Finally got a chance to test out the Blue Seventy Helix and out of the dozens of wetsuits I've tried over the last 13 years nothing compares. This suit fits so well, with such a streamlined position that it's hard to imagine every triathlete not making the switch. In my mind all they would have to do is literally take 1 open water swim to compare it with their current suit. Also, a big thank you to Blue Seventy for supplying Without Limits Productions with an abundance of their new goggles to raffle off at our upcoming events (Aquaman Swim Series kicks off June 30th at Cherry Creek Reservoir). Friday was a water logged day. After a non traditional swim practice with Flora Duffy and the Without Limits crew I headed out to Boulder Reservoir with Cam Dye to teach an Open Water Swim Clinic to F4. The Fast Forward athletes came out in droves and I'd say we had the best turn-out in 3 years at 50 beginner-advanced triathletes. It's hard to imagine that the race season is almost 1/3rd over, but be sure to stay posted as the Without Limits Racing Team is in GO-mode, traveling state to state and country to country over the next couple months.

XOOD Makes big Splash at Summer OPEN Sprint Tri

The owner of XOOD Health makes a special trip up from Tucson Arizona to give Colorado Athlete's a taste of the future - the future of health drinks!

XCEED WITH XOOD
XOOD is a revolutionary, healthy drink unlike anything you've experienced. It's all-natural with a light, refreshing taste. There are no added sweeteners and no artificial flavoring, colors or fake anything of any kind. XOOD's precise blend of maltodextrin, fructose, whey protein, electrolytes and vitamins is designed to help you tear up the track — without tearing up your GI tract.

XOOD is available in several varieties. All are great for training, pre-competition, competition and recovery. But each has specific ingredients that are especially helpful at each different level of activity.



"Hey Lance,
Thanks again for inviting us out there. We had a great time and got a lot of really positive feedback. I think athletes are ready for something different in the marketplace. The people we met were very receptive to a natural and healthier product. I think Kathryn will do a great job representing us at our booth for your next events. She is super fit, really energetic, and her interest in medicine makes her a natural for understanding the benefits our XOOD".

Mix 1 - you got the right stuff baby!

Without Limits Racing has just begun a partnership with Mix1. Mix1 makes shelf stable drinks that can work as pre/during/post workout, or any other time you are in need of a quick meal. They work great on rides because they are lactose free and don't need refrigeration, but they provide 200 calories of high quality nutrition. Best of all they have lots of flavors, none of which taste like the chalk you usually get with whey protein drinks. Check out the website:

Homestays

A big thank you goes out to Allen and Debbie from the Austin Tri Club for providing myself and Cameron Dye with the best homestay we could have hoped for. Our own rooms, access to a car, directions, and fresh meals - what more could you ask for! Austin's one great town and I can't wait to head back down that way next Spring, hopefully the temperature doesn't tip 95 but then again it's still Texas!
