Salt Lake City, UT -February 10, 2004-First EnduranceTM sponsors five elite runners as it officially enters the running market. "We have established ourselves as the endurance supplement of choice among elite cyclists and triathletes. In 2004, we will expand our efforts by getting the word out to runners about our products." Explains Sr. VP of Marketing Mike Fogarty. "Following only a short trial, our runners have posted a US Masters 10K Title and an American best ½ marathon."
First Endurance sponsored athletes had an opportunity to trial Optygen and Ultragen in order to test the products effectiveness. Following a trial each athlete was asked to explain what benefits they experienced while using the products. Olympic Trials runner Sylvia Mosqueda tried the product leading into a run schedule which included ½ marathons on three consecutive weekends. "I have ran three half marathons in a row starting on Jan 11th and finishing with the Austin Half Marathon on January 25th. Not only did each race get faster, in the Austin race I took first place with a personal PR of 1:09.51 and posted the fastest time by an American this year!" exclaimed an ecstatic Sylvia Mosqueda.
Forty year old Dennis Simonaitis became a believer after his first USAFT Masters title where he ran just one second shy of the American record in the 10K. Posting an impressive 29:38 Dennis stated "Being able to tolerate higher workloads in training allowed me to jump to that mythical next level. For these reasons I'm convinced Optygen played an important role in being able to win two USAFT National Masters titles, beating the best Masters runners in the US and some of the best in the world."
All of our Sponsored athletes have had impressive results using Optygen and Ultragen in their training and racing. With the launch of a running section in the First Endurance web site, results and complete feedback from these top US runners can be found at www.firstendurance.com/running
