It’s time for another edition of “Stuff I Love”! This time I’m talking about things I’m loving on the workout front:
Enduro Packs: For 30 days during peak tri training, I used Enduropacks Daily Micronutrients. It consists of a daily Liquid Multi-Vitamin, which is rather tasty if I do say so myself, L-Glutamine Recovery Complex, a transdermal Essential Amino Acid patch and Electrolyte Spray. Things I noticed: I did not get sick, despite having a sickie in the house. I was not sore, even after ridiculously hard workouts. I’m looking at you hill repeats and mile repeats, combined. Overall I felt really great!
SOS Rehydrate: It’s been an odd spring with weather all over the place, in classic Chicago style. When the heat and humidity rolled in, I was not acclimated. Running in 90% humidity is hard. This drink is my go-to for hot, steamy conditions. I drank it at my tri and even though I missed a GU on the bike, I felt pretty darn good.
Spandits: You know I love me some fun print tights. Well Spandits has the market cornered on that front. I am totally in love with every single pair I’ve tried. You’re in luck cuz now ’til the end of the month save $15 when you spend $75. And remember to use code SPANDITSLOVE for 10% off! Tell them I sent you!
Espirit de She Swag: Gotta love a race with good swag and Espirit de She did not disappoint. The race shirt is awesome. The bonus Moxie Cycling Jersey I got for signing up early is the total bomb. And how cute are these Luna lip balms in Chocolate Cupcake and Chocolate Dipped Coconut?
Race Sherpa. I saved the best for last! Mad props to the Caveman for being my rock through tri training. He was skeptical and mortified (who wasn’t?) when I signed up but he’s been my strongest support all the way through. From going in to work late on Mondays so I could go to 6am Masters Swim to getting up at 3:45 am on race day, schlepping my bike and gear around and standing in pouring rain for hours on end during the tri, much love and gratitude to the Caveman!
What are your favorite workout things? Who is your biggest supporter? What’s the best race swag you ever got? Did you enter my giveaway?
I’m linking up today with Courtney, Cynthia and Mar for the Friday Five!
Note: I received some of the items listed above free of charge for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.
The Spandits with the skulls are so cute! I love Luna Bars but haven’t seen the lip balm. That’s a great picture of the Caveman and your daughter!!
I have been looking for a fun pair of tights. That’s great that you have a discount code. I bet those chapstick are so yummy. Just like the bars but without the calories:)
I’ve heard a lot of great things about Enduropacks…going to have to check it out! Love the picture of Caveman with your daughter, so sweet! Hope you have a great weekend!
Wow, I just found your blog! Your running form is beautiful. And that is so cool that you qualified for Boston on your 2nd marathon. That’s stupendous!
Very cool tights! Haven’t seen that brand before. I do have a moxie tank so that is really nice you got that as race swag. The coolest swag that I have gotten is probably a beach towel because I use it all the time for swim class. We also got awesome jackets for USA Triathlon Nationals last year although the sizing was snug so I don’t wear mine 🙁
Love the hubby supported you!!
I am going to check out those Enduropacks but I am sure that my no money household can’t afford but will read up anyway! 🙂
I love those spandits! Nothing in the budget now but hoping to win the lotto! 😉
I’m seriously coveting those Luna lip balms…can you hook me up?
Love that your hubby supported you through your Tri adventure! I’ve got a shipment of Enduropack here and I can’t wait to start training again to try them out.
I love those running pants! I must have those! Where do I find that SOS? You are drinking it before during & after? I am melting down here! Kudos to the caveman! Where would we be without our guys? happy Saturday!
I rely on my husband to be my sherpa too – takes so much stress away!
I love lip balm and the fact that they have it in my FAVORITE Luna bar flavor is amazing!
Great tights! High five to the caveman for helping you through your Tri trainig, everything is so much easier when you feel supported.
I am going to look into the enduro packs, I take a tablet supplement of glucosamine chondroitin, but I get sore, if I could ditch that feeling it would be nice 🙂
They might drive us crazy sometimes but you can’t beat a husband that supports all our crazy schemes. Big round of applause to yours.
Love the prints of the Spandits tights and the chocolate cup cake lip balm sounds great! Hubby’s are the best when they support us in all our training!
((((clickity CLICK)))
must have the skull spandits!
Love the Spandits! My husband is my biggest supporter. He just gets it. It helps being married to a runner 🙂
I love Spandit’s too! So soft and love the patterns! My husband is a saint when it comes to my training.
I’m somewhat of a chapstick junkie, so those lip balms are right up my alley! 😀 Love the different flavors!
Rich is definitely my biggest supporter!! Love that the caveman is yours, too!! And, luna bar lip balm sounds awesome!
