with US Telemark Team
Salt Lake City, UT - November 3, 2003 - First Endurance is proud to announce they will be the official nutrient sponsors for the US Telemark Ski Team again in 2004. This year the team will receive Optygen and the soon to be introduced recovery product Ultragen. The highest ranked U.S. telemark skiers on the racing circuit are chosen to represent the U.S. on the World Cup tour. These athletes travel and race in events that are held all over the world. The US Telemark Ski Team is currently working with a number of European Countries to get telemark racing slated for the Olympics in 2010.
US Telemark Ski Team member Chris Rice notes that he is able to push himself harder since he began using Optygen: "Within a few days of taking Optygen, I noticed that there was greater depth in my stamina. The net effect is that my endurance is increased, and I am able to push myself further in my training. Rice goes on to comment, "All of the Telemark Team members who took Optygen experience similar effects. By being able to train harder, we were in better shape to compete. Its effects were distinctly noticeable. I would recommend Optygen to all athletes who feel that endurance is a vital part of their performance, except my competitors, of course."
Carole Hill, another racer on the team, comments how Optygen effects her ability to train: "Optygen is a great product. During workouts I was able to increase my training almost immediately. During the race season I had extra energy at the end of the Classics that allowed me to really push through the skate."
Andy Minier relies on Optygen to help him get the most out of his training: "Telemark racing is a very demanding sport that involves both aerobic an anaerobic fitness. Telemark racing is also a true amateur sport in the USA. Team members need to fit training and racing in alongside of work and family. Training time needs to be taken full advantage of and First Endurance plays an important role. Since I started taking Optygen, my racing and training have improved. I am now looking to better my last seasons 2nd overall at the US OPEN and 15th overall at World Championships."
