In November of 2016 I received an email from Base Performance telling me that I was selected to be on the 2017 Base Performance Race Team. This was the first time I was ever invited to be part of a team and I was super excited about the opportunity that was presented. I also found joy in this accomplishment after last summer some athletes in a local tri group were suggesting that Base Salt (the product the company is known for) wasn't anything special. Instead of following the uninformed crowd, I did more of my own research and discovered that others were having pretty good results with the salt, so I decided to take a chance. Base Salt made a huge difference with my training from the start! Cramping is not my issue, but rather it's swelling. I start to notice it in my hands first. Base Salt is taken from the very beginning of the workout and helps to prevent swelling, cramping, and all that jazz. In North Carolina heat and humidity, this is a real concern for me.
When I went to Maryland last year to race Ironman Maryland, I met Matt Miller, who basically runs the company ( I actually had no idea that's who I was even talking to). A couple weeks after Ironman, I got an email from Base Performance inviting me to fill out an application to join the race team. In November I got an email congratulating me on making the cut. This was the first time I had ever had such an honor in triathlon so I was absolutely floored! I now have all kinds of race gear and nutrition products to try out. This is a small team under a company that is growing by the minute, so as athletes we have a unique opportunity to give our input on new products that are being designed. Matt will post in the group page about ideas they have for expanding the company, and the athletes give opinions on what we like and don't like (we hate artificial colors, so we told Matt to not put them in the new sports drinks!) The team is encouraging and supportive and we have all become better athletes because of each other.
