First Endurance and Nutrifig join prize list
In addition to the Grand Prize, the fantastic Wilier Triestina Izoard Lampre-Fondital team replica bicycle worth US$4,750, there are 39 other prizes on offer this year. Among other prizes, First Endurance's Optygen will be awarded to a few of the lucky runners-up in this year's game. Optygen is designed to optimize performance for endurance athletes. The two main adaptogens in Optygen were first used by Tibetian Sherpas to help them climb Mt. Everest. Optygen utilizes these unique adaptogens because clinical research (on elite endurance athletes) has shown them to increase oxygen utilization, increase the body's ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress, increase anaerobic threshold and reduce lactic acid.
Nutrifig's Cheetah bars will also be awarded to a few of the lucky runners-up in this year's game. Nutrifig Cheetah Bar provide organic nutrition for optimal fuelling. A cyclist depends on good nutrition to meet the demands of the sport. That's why Nutrifig developed the all natural, organic Cheetah Bar. The right combination of carbs, protein, and fiber give you long lasting energy in a bar that tastes great. Cheetah bars are loaded with potassium, sodium and calcium--all found naturally in the ingredients so no chemical additives. This is the bar of choice of the Colavita/Sutter Home team. We have 10 boxes of Cheetah Bars on offer. Register your teams now!
