2013 Ironman Melbourne Result Huge For Corinne!

March 25, 2013 by David Leave a Comment

What a tough, tough race the Ironman Melbourne turned out to be yesterday, but a fantastic result with one of our athletes – Corinne Abraham – blitzing the women’s field to win.

Corinne had an incredible 4.42 on the bike and then ran a 2 hour 57 minute marathon to win easily by 15 minutes! Total time was 08:10:55.

She was placed 18th overall – a remarkable achievement against some very seasoned male pros.

Congratulations Corinne – this athlete from Wales is a delightful person, tremendous athlete and wonderful supporter of Hammer Nutrition.

She’s only been racing as a pro for 2 years – to do an Ironman as tough as it was yesterday and come up with the win is a magnificent achievement.

We’re all so thrilled Hammer Nutrition played a part in her win :o)

Cheers

Take HEED for the Gold Coast 1/2 Ironman

May 18, 2010 by David Leave a Comment

Hammer is supplying it’s HEED drink for the Gold Coast 1/2 Ironman. HEED was chosen for 3 main reasons:

It’s easy to consume. It has no sickly sweet taste, only a mild natural flavour which encourages consumption all day long. The temperature can be in excess of 30c, and athletes need something they can easily get down.
It only uses complex carbs (no simple sugars) which maintain a consistent blood sugar level, unlike sports drinks with ingredients ending with “ose” ( glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose etc) which are simple sugars that spike the blood sugars levels.
HEED contains a good cross section of electrolytes at the right level. Some drinks contain excessive amounts of electrolytes such as magnesium which the body can not absorb and end up causing intestinal problems.

As part of our sponsorship we have 2 FREE entries to give away for the event. These will be given away to the first 2 people that place an order above $150. To get this FREE entry you must state in the comments section that you are applying for a FREE entry. We will place a comment on this page when the entries are gone.
