Yesterday was the Leadville Race Series Trail 100 MTB Presented by Herbalife24. This 100 mile trail ride that climbs from 9,200 to 12,424 feet is a bike race of “burning lungs, steep descents and wild animals”.

Endurance athletes worldwide now make the pilgrimage to Leadville, Colorado, with the single goal of competing in a “Race Across the Sky.”

Herbalife24 Prolong was in use at the aid stations.  During extended or intense exercise, Prolong provides a dual-source carbohydrate blend for immediate and sustained energy. Bioavailable electrolytes help support muscle contraction and maintain a properly functioning cellular environment, while a small amount of protein helps reduce muscle breakdown, speeding recovery time. All with a subtle, easy-to-drink flavour.

Excited for 5th in my first ever endurance MTB race. Thanks to @Herbalife24 for the awesome week. I would have cracked without that Prolong.
