This past weekend I went to the Zoot Ultra Team Camp in Carlsbad, CA. I'm pumped to be racing with the Zoot Ultra Team again this year and once again camp did not disappoint! I could not ask for a better group of teammates and supporters to be associated with. Not only are the athletes ridiculously fast, they are also great people. It was nice to spend some time with the team and to hear what our sponsors had to say. We have an awesome group of sponsors set up this year, and the vision for the team that was laid out for us is exciting. This year we'll be working with:
Zoot - By far the best gear in the triathlon world! From shoes, to apparel to wetsuits, and casual gear Zoot is head and shoulders above the rest of the competition. Born in Kona, the Zoot name is synonymous with triathlon and has stayed true to the sport since its inception. I can't say enough about how passionate and caring the Zoot employees are. Not only to they design and produce the best gear in the industry they are all super involved within the endurance sports world as well. I think I might sense another "Jake vs Molly" show down in the future.
Garmin - Typically I have a pretty good sense of direction, so maps aren't all that necessary...though I'm not sure I could train without the use of the fun gadgets Garmin has to offer. Last season Garmin signed on with us and we raced with the Garmin 310xt. I was definitely impressed, and felt fortunate to race with such a high quality tool. Once again Garmin has stepped up their game and debuted the Garmin 910xt. This season I'll have the pleasure of racing with the 910xt. We received them on Sunday, and I can't wait to get more time with it. The 910xt is a step up with some great new swim features, which for training and racing will be great tools.
GU Energy Labs - I've been fortunate and have worked with GU for the past 5 seasons. Once again they are helping to keep us fueled during training and racing. GU is continuosly improving their product line and this year is back on the Ironman courses. I'm happy to hear that GU will be at all Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events with both their energy gel and chomps. I'm not sure what I would do on long runs and long rides without the help of GU.
Spy Optics - Spy is new to the team this year, but is definitely trying to stamp their name on endurance sports. While I was training in San Diego last week I saw countless cyling uniforms on fellow riders who were sporting the Spy logo. We did the "The Screw", which is one of the new lines of sunglasses from Spy, this past Sunday and the comfort is far superior to anything I've experienced before. I can't wait to try out some of the other options from Spy, including a line of casual sunglasses.
Fuel Belt - Once again we are joined by Fuel Belt. Their products are definitely useful. Crowie uses a Fuel Belt, so you know it has to work, I mean come on if a 3 time Ironman World Champion is wearing one there has to be a reason. Thanks Fuel Belt!!
PR Bar - There are quite a few professional triathletes that love PR Bars, and we're lucky enough to be working with them this year. There are a variety of different options, I'm looking forward to trying out the Apple Pie. One thing is for sure, our team will be well fueled this season, thanks PR Bar!!
Needless to say we have a great line up of sponsors working with us this year, and I'm pumped to be a part of all of it. Our team kits look awesome! There isn't much to say other than Zoot rocks!!!!
