2009 Sponsors

I am REALLY excited to report that I will be racing on the Zoot Ultra Team for the 3rd season in a row! I joined the Zoot Team the first year that it was established in 2007. It just so happened that 2007 was also my first year racing Pro and I was SO excited to be accepted onto such a fantastic team and represent the best multisport company out there! This year I am just as excited to be racing for Zoot! In addition to Zoot and all of the amazing products made by Zoot including: shoes, clothing, wetsuits, the BEST compression items on the market, "SpeedZoots", etc., etc...the team will also be sponsored by Orbea. I am REALLY looking forward to getting my new Ordu and will post the pic as soon as I get it! Also, Zipp wheels (speak for themselves, don't they?) Suunto watches (top of the line watches and heart rate monitors...check out the company if you haven't already), GU energy gel and GU2O (my favorites are Chocolate Outrage Gel and and Orange GU2O) , Nutrafig bars (yummy!), Fuel Belt (leading hydration belt on the market) and View goggles (AWESOME for open water swimming)...

In addition to all of the amazing sponsors from the Zoot Team, I will be sponsored by Profile Design which provides the most AMAZING aerobars, stems, brake levers, hydration systems, saddles, seatposts, forks, and other great bike accessories out there! I'll be riding the new CX3 bars this year on my new Ordu this year, which should look super hot. Rudy Project is another sponsor for 2007...I have raced in Rudy Project for years and even wear their Maskeryna glasses when I'm not racing. Of course, Runner's Edge will be a sponsor of mine again for 2007. You can shop there online at: http://www.runnersedgeny.com/ OR visit the store in Farmingdale, NY. It has EVERYTHING you need for running and triathlon. The I Will Foundation (http://www.iwillfoundation.com/) founded by my friend Matt Long is an incredible Foundation that I believe will help to make a difference in many people's lives. You can check out the website, read about Matt and about the vision of the Foundation. I always say that I should add "Commercial Roofing" to my list of sponsors as well, since it is my parent's company and without them, I would definitely not be living out my dream of racing as a pro triathlete! Their support is unwavering, even when I find that living out my dream can be difficult with plenty of speed bumps along the way! I hope to have a solid season ahead and do them, and all of my sponsors proud!

I am fortunate to have such a great backing for my 2009 season and wanted to thank everyone of my sponsors! I'll be psyched to start off the season in California April 4th, at the California 70.3! Many of my Zoot Teammates will be there as we have our "team camp" that weekend after the race. The race happens to be right near Zoot headquarters, so it's a perfect way to start off the season!

Thanks!

Thanks to my friend Jacqui Gordon for my inspiration today! Luckily, I read Jacqui's blog before hopping on my trainer to do a killer workout today. I thought of her and her blog as inspiration as I did my hard trainer workout today... It really helped knowing she was there yesterday on her trainer! :-)
