Aside from “What board are you riding?” and “What paddle do you use?”, the one question I get most often is, “What do you use for energy?” For 4 years the answer has always been Tailwind Nutrition. It’s all I need. I use it during all my SUP races, during training, while mountain biking, and on long trail runs. It’s the perfect fuel! Its not sticky and overly sweet like many other products out there. Tailwind Nutrition hits the spot! There are seven flavors and some even have caffeine! It mixes up completely clear and doesn’t leave a residue or aftertaste in my hydration pack. One of the greatest things about Tailwind, is that it’s more than just fuel, its electrolyte replacement.
Electrolytes are lost primarily through sweat, which is composed of water, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium along with trace elements in tiny amounts. Tailwind includes sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the proportions found in sweat. Mixed with water, Tailwind helps to replace the electrolytes and water lost via sweat to maintain the balance between electrolytes and water in the bloodstream. Not to be gross or anything, but I sweat a lot! I knew when I first started looking for endurance fuel that I needed something that was going to replenish my sodium and potassium (I didn’t know back then that I was losing calcium and magnesium too).
The best part? It works! With Tailwind, I can go forever! No gut bombs or syrupy sweetness – just light and refreshing taste that I could drink all day long. As long as I sip regularly throughout my workouts or races, it’s all I need, really!
This past year I became a Brand Ambassador for Tailwind Nutrition because I love the product and believe in it 100%.
If you’re interested in trying Tailwind, shoot me an email or hit me up at any of the races! I always have samples to give out to folks interested! Trust me, you’ll end up loving it too!
