"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."

"I have really noticed the benefits of Base Water and Base Amino during my first two training camps of the 2008 season where I began using both products. I had my first camp in Maui after doing my winter training up until then in just above freezing conditions. In past years it has taken at least a week or ten days to start to feel acclimated to the heat at training camp. However, since using the Base products I almost immediately felt comfortable in the mid 80's conditions of Maui while doing long base miles. I finished workouts well hydrated and having had enough fuel to sustain the work load and intensity required. I also did the longest workout of my career in Maui at 7hrs and was able to maintain a pace and endurance level that I was very surprised with.

My next camp was in Noosa, Australia where intervals and intensity was the focus and again I was able to stay hydrated on less volumes of water and better fueled with Base Amino. With the increased absorption of the water and carbohydrate drink I am able to run intervals at a harder pace without having any sloshing of fluids in my gut. I was also less affected by the almost 90 degree temperatures on the track while running as the result of prehydrating and fueling with Base water and amino."

"Chris Lieto is a rare champion. He is one of the most marketable athletes in the world of triathlon, yet he is modest, approachable and friendly. Chris knows the members of our cycling team from local group rides, and when it came time to launch Base Performance Nutrition, we were flattered that he considered us worthy representatives of his brand. Every member of our team (C4) enthusiastically got behind Chris and his products, because of his success with nutrition during training and world-class events, and because of his integrity."

"I have been using base amino for a few months now and can say that it has been one of the single best nutritional products I have ever used. Not only do I find that I recover better between hard training sessions but I also notice a difference in my endurance on long training days. Using base amino in combination with the recovery activator and electrolyte salt has taken my nutrition to a whole new level."

- Three podium finished at the 100-mile distance in 2008
- 2007 USATF 50-mile Trail Run Age Group (30-39) National Champion (4th overall)

The Base Nutrition system quickly became an integral part of my training and allowed me to peak again for a great race at the Angeles Crest 100-mile run in September. I finished 3rd, with a 30 minute PR. Trying to run well in multiple 100-mile races in a single year is difficult and puts your body under intense stress. The products from Base Nutrition helped my body cope with this stress and allowed me to train harder and race better than I ever had before."

"I work full-time, train for triathlons and surf as much as possible. I'm always running myself down so it is important for me to find products that help me stay strong so I can enjoy the things I like to do. I've been taking the Base products for the past year and I can definitely tell a difference. My body recovers more quickly and I am less fatigued. I'd recommend Base products to anyone who leads an active life."
