"Thanks to Base Performance, I was able to have the race of a lifetime at the Ironman World Championships! Not only did Base keep me hydrated and performing at a high level for 9.5 hours on Saturday.... but it was an integral part of my daily training in the month leading up to the race.

I had my first experience with the Base Performance Nutrition products at an epic training camp in Maui. Since completing my training camp in Maui, I have now included the Base Amino and Base Water into my daily regimen. Myself, and 4 other elite athletes decided to get together for a training camp in Maui with our coach this past February. Coming from a Montana winter, I was not acclimated to the heat and training conditions that Maui would throw my way. During our time in Maui we managed to ride nearly 750 miles, swim 20 miles, and run about 90 miles. We did all of this in just 14 days! On our second day in Maui we were instructed to go on a base building long run (about 2 hours)... this run turned out to be quite humbling as I was slowed to one of my slowest run paces of all time due to being tired, dehydrated, unacclimatized, and fatigued from riding the day before.

That night, Chris Lieto, founder of Base Performance introduced me to the Base product line. Simply put, the Base Product Nutrition line just makes sense. It really takes you back to the basics and fundamentals that any high performing athlete needs to succeed. After my miserable long run in the sugar cane fields, I started out using the Base Amino and Base Water every few days at our training camp. I noticed an immediate difference in my recovery and performance levels on the days that I used the product versus the days that I trained without Base products. It didn't take long, and before I knew it I was using the Base Performance Nutrition line for all of my workouts (sometimes 3 in one day!). I added Base Amino to all of my training beverages, and consumed nearly a gallon of Base-d Water every day. I was amazed at not only how well I was able to perform each work out day in and day out, but perhaps even more impressive was my ability to recover. I would finish a workout feeling spent, and have another workout 2 hours later. To my amazement, nearly every workout that I completed at my training camp was done at a high performance level. I would start each workout with a water bottle filled with one to two scoops of Base Amino, a scoop of Clif Shot electrolyte drink, and topped off with Base Water.

As an elite athlete, I have been approached by several nutrition supplement companies. I have experimented with many other products on the market that claim to help you achieve a better recovery, a higher performance level, you name it. Until last month, I had yet to try a product that really produced the results that the Base Performance Nutrition line was able to do. Currently, I am training for Ironman Arizona in April. I have added the Base Performance Nutrition supplements to my nutrition repertoire. When I am using Base Amino and Base Water I feel hydrated, recover quicker than ever before, don't experience any muscle cramping, perform all my workouts at a high level, and I don't feel fatigued. This allows me to focus on what is most important: achieving great workouts with great results. As long as I am racing triathlons, I plan on utilizing all that the Base Performance Nutrition line has to offer. Whether your goal is to win an Ironman, qualify for Kona, finish your first triathlon, or set a personal best; we all share one thing in common... completing our racing and training at our highest achieving level. I guarantee you that any of the Base Performance Nutrition products will help you achieve these goals."
