"I'm excited to announce that I'm now a CeraSport athlete. I was looking to improve my nutrition, because I didn't think the products I had been using were good enough to meet my nutritional needs. I needed to get it all ironed out perfectly since I'm going to be doing an Ironman at the end of the year and nutrition plays as big a part of the race as fitness does. My friend, Mirinda Carfrae recommended CeraSport as a new option. I think CeraSport is going to be more than just a sponsor for me. I just moved down to Austin, TX last week and it's been over 100 degrees every day. I've found that I haven't been as thirsty as I expected to be training in the heat. CeraSport has proven to be so good that even hospitals and some branches of the military have started using them to hydrate their patients. I'm already noticing the difference using it in my training as I've been able to ride in the middle of the day down here in Austin and then train later in the day without any hydration problems. I can't wait to start using Cera Sport in my races."
