H.E.E.D just put on weight

November 18, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

Thanks for all the positive feedback about H.E.E.D. you have been giving us over the last 3 months.

Most people have commented on how easy it is to drink, and how their energy seems to last longer and be more stable.

Des Besanko (2x’s winner of Hell of the West), started training again last month, after a 5 hour ride in Mackay (North Qld) in 30C + heat, he commented ” it’s great to have a drink during training which you never get sick of taking. Energy levels were great all ride long. Thanks for the great product.”.

The biggest complaint we got, was that it just was not big enough !

So we added nearly 1.1kg, to make a new size and give you a 2kg Tub.

So we hope this is now big enough.

To introduce this product until the 1st December you can get this for $49.95. Normal price will be $59.95.

Cheers

Jarad Kohlar – Australian Multisport Champion 2008

October 31, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

Jarad Kohlar stormed home to win for a 2nd time the Freycinet Lodge Challenge which doubled as the Australian MultiSport Championships.

The 2 day event involved a 29-km trail run, 44-km MTB, 109-km road ride and 27-km ocean kayaking. Jarad took just over 9.50 hours to win.

Jarad noted the use of Perpetuem during the race and especially Recoverite after the 1st day in helping maintain excellent energy during racing and great recovery between race days as being crucial to his performance.

True to form Jarad has little between races and is now off to WA for the Anaconda Adventure Race on November 2nd.

H.E.E.D – saves the day

October 21, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

The Triathlon season started with a bang ! with the Gold Coast 1/2 Ironman followed by the new revamped Forster Triathlon.

Nearly 3,000 people raced both events in condtions of 30c and 27c.

Hammer provided over 7000 litres of H.E.E.D to ensure athletes survived the hot enduring condtions. Feedback from athletes was great, Peter Clark (50-54yr age group. 3rd) commented “Second time I had done the race and must say H.E.E.D worked brilliantly for me. I kept waiting for the cramps or crash and burn…but it never came and I felt strong to the end.” Similar feedback after the race was given by many athletes. H.E.E.D contains no simple sugars and all complex carbs with a broad cross section of Electrolytes, all this made it easy get down unlike the sweetness of other drinks.

Michelle Wu Goes Pro

September 25, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

After becoming the fastest age group female triathlete in the World, Michelle felt that there was no where left to go, but into the Pro Ranks !

This is a big step up, but if anybody is up to it, Michelle is.

Australia went 1st and 3rd at the Olympics with the two Emma’s, so that’s how tough it is !

Michelle will look to this year to gain experience travelling all-around Australia racing. She will also be travelling to Hong Kong and China for a couple of ITU races.

She put herself through a gruelling 120km ride in wet and windy Canberra Saturday, then following that up with a 6.5km swim in the afternoon. Then on Sunday she competed in a 10km run to polish off the weekend Training. Michelle said the run was a slow 38min, but we wonder why ?

Hammer will be supporting Michelle all the way.

Jarad Kohlar / Deanna Blegg shine in 1st Anaconda Race

September 4, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

Jarad and Deanna put in some great performances in the 1st Anaconda Adventure Race placing 2nd and 3rd against some really tough competition.

Jarad went head to head with one of the all time greats of Adventure Racing, NZ Richard Usher. Jarad matched Richards times in each of the run legs, MTB legs and Paddle, but never quiet caught up a 4 minute deficit from the swim. Jarad said ” every time I tried to pull him back he responded. It was a great head to head battle all day long.” Jarad used both Perpetuem and Gels, which he said worked a treat.

Jarad went on to win the Go Natural Mulitsport Challenge the following week. Go and have a rest Jarad !

Deanna had to battle Nicole Rutland and the well known Ironman Karla Gilbert all day long. Still learning to paddle, she match them in all other legs to close the gap to finish 3rd.

Great job Jarad and Deanna.

Michelle Wu – World Champion (Updated)

June 30, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

One of our favourite athletes we sponsor with product is Michelle Wu – champion Australian Age Group Triathlete.

Oh sorry! Did I say “Australian Champion”??

Try “World Champion Age Group”!

Yep, Michelle is the World Champion not only in her Age Group, but overall.

Here’s a bit from her email me to just after the win in Canada.

“……….not only in my age group F25-29, but OVERALL!!!!! yes, that’s right!! World’s fastest Age Grouper! I’m absolutely stoked with it and really can’t quite believe it myself! it is really just unbelievable!!

In short, I had an average swim (in 11 degree water), but then rode and ran the fastest bike and run splits of all the females to win in 2:00:14hrs.

What’s more exciting is that it was a sprint finish so I only got it by 5 sec!”

Congratulations Michelle

Congratulations Michelle – we’re thrilled to be part of your win.

The Right Information For The Right Nutrition

May 18, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

As regular readers might know, we’re very big on providing the right information the right way for our customers.

It’s the reason we have:

free e-book,
seminars with endurance nutrition expert Steve Born,
video on the site of the seminar,
interviews with endurance athletes,
and much more

We receive some fantastic feedback on our products and below is one from Karin.

I’ve posted Karin’s experience up because I think it’s a terrific example of an athlete who has received the right information and applied it. Hope you like it!

=====================

Hi David,

I wanted to give some feedback on my experience with your product.

I am absolutely thrilled with it!!

Yesterday was my first experience using your method of waking 3 hours before my event, I ate my small breakfast, went back for some more sleep and awoke feeling very good.

I got to my event and found not only was I cool calm & collected, I just
felt good.

I took a Hammer Gel about 5 minutes before the start of the race, and took two more during the half Marathon event. I never once felt low on energy or sick in my stomach.

“……felt great.”

How fantastic to just change a couple of things in my routine and feel great.

My usual routine was to eat just before the event, then eat nothing or during it, in particular if it is a run event. IM slightly different for me.

Although, I was having major problems with my nutrition on the bike and am still to experiment with your Perpetuem product.

“……I have bonked…..not once did I feel this would happen.”

I’ve also found that many times in the past, I have bonked, and had extreme cases of high heartrate… not once yesterday did I feel this would happen.

I have read your Guide to Success book & feel that I’m in complete control my my racing, nutrition & recovery… it isn’t controlling me… what a great feeling to have.

Thank you again for the advice & products. You have found a person who is a complete convert to Hammer and its products.

Kind Regards,

Karin
====================

Thanks Karin.

Glad we could help.

Apologies For Technical Trouble

April 28, 2008 by David Leave a Comment

We’ve had a bit of technical trouble this evening here at Hammer Nutrition with our host server – the technical details are long and involved (and boring) so I’ll spare you that!

Some people saw this:

It has now been fixed and we’re back working again.

Apologies for any inconvenience and thanks to those customers who let us know.

Cheers and goodnight.

David
