And it\u2019s not just the financial cost that they help with, they also help you when you\u2019re physically\/emotionally spent and need to re-buy.  <\/p>\n<p>Since beginning this journey in 2015, I\u2019ve been fortunate to have a wide network of supporters and sponsors.  They\u2019ve been in my corner, and helped to ensure that I\u2019m able to push forward.  Some have come to me, others I\u2019ve gone out and found myself.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, I was overjoyed to get a yes from Hammer Nutrition when I asked them for their support.  Since starting, I had tried many different gels but always came back to Hammer\u2019s.  And other products like Endrolytes were already part of my race kit.  Because of their generosity, not only was I able to have everything I knew I needed but also to try new product like Heed.  That was in my bottles throughout the 2017 season and will be again in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019m grateful for any support, I\u2019m even more so when someone sticks with me.  There are umpteen different places that everyone (individual or company) can put their support.  So when someone re-ups, that means a LOT.  <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Hammer said yes to sponsoring my nutrition needs in 2018!  That will help IMMENSELY during the extremely long 2018 season I have in store!<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU Hammer Nutrition!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I\u2019ve mentioned in the past, because of the cost of this sport, you need sponsors to succeed.
