"Steve Speirs, you are an Ironman!"
At around 7:20pm on Sunday July 25th, 2005, my dream of becoming an Ironman finally became a reality. With 140.6 miles of swimming, biking and running behind me, I crossed the finish line in 12 hours, 19 minutes and 58 seconds. What a feeling! My race stats can be seen below and a full race report will follow sometime in the near future. For now I’m just enjoying the moment……

[...] I’ve used this product successfully for a number of years, including my one and only Ironman experience in 2004. I have to say, nothing can beat it!

It’s available in either single-serving pouches or the extremely cost-effective jugs for even, reliable energy, not the typical spike and crash of sugar-loaded products. Hammer Gel only contains the good stuff: complex carbs, natural ingredients, and real fruit. It’s consistency is more syrupy than other gels, making it very easy to digest. Hammer Gel is versatile as well – you can take it straight, add it to your water bottle, or combine it with Sustained Energy, HEED, and Perpetuem to create a variety of tasty energy combinations for any length activity, anywhere, anytime.

Found your site surfing the web. Congrats on being an Ironman. I completed my first 140.6 last year, and I’m 19 days away from doing my second.
Anyway, good luck on future races!
