After Dominating Powerman Alabama
Irondale, Al April 10th, 2005- First Endurance athletes left all others behind at the 2005 Powerman Alabama consisting of a 8k run, 55k bike & 8k run. Tom Jeffrey won the men's race with Josiah Middaugh taking fifth after being assessed a 2 minute penalty. In the Women's race Andrea Ratkovic and Heather Haviland took 1st and 2nd.
"I attribute a significant portion of my increased level of training to First Endurance. I am consistent about using all three First Endurance products and notice that I just don't ever feel depleted." Explained Jeffrey following the race. "Both Josiah and I broke away from the entire field and were poised to finish 1st and 2nd when an official sited Josiah with a penalty as he was staggering off an age grouper being lapped." Tom Jeffrey went on to add. "At dope control after the race, they ask everyone if they take any supplements or medication in the last three days and, no joke, every single person I heard answer, said 'O-P-T-Y-G-E-N.'
At 38 years old Andrea Ratkovic has experience on her side. Just last week she took 2nd place at the Redlands Classic Pro criterium race. This week, she followed up by winning Powerman Alabama. Ratkovic has proved over and over that she can run and bike as fast as anyone racing today. Heather Haviland who was awarded Amateur Triathlete of the Year in 2004 is entering her first year as a Pro. In her Pro Duathlon debut Heather cruised to a second place finish two minutes ahead of the 3rd place competitor. Heather attributes much of her success to the First Endurance products. "Taking your products has truly helped me move to the next level. I am a very faithful user and will continue for as long as I am racing."
