"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.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.

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."
