I headed down a day early so that on Tuesday I could participate in the Outdoor Bike demo. Here I am with some of the Kuota boys. I had to ride a Kuota! I love my Kuota Kalibur but, decided to hop on a road bike - I tried a Kuota Kebel. I loved it too and if I could have both I would! For now I just can't part with my Kalibur.
The ride was only 45km but, it was hard! Lots of amazing riders that included some pros. By 9am it was around 34 degrees Celsius and we had a hill to come back up that was over 10km long! I definitely got a bit of a migraine due to the heat. When we got back from the demo, I sat around the pool at the Mirage.
The rest of the Tri It gang arrived that night and I was so excited to have them there to share in all my excitement. Over the next few days there were many highlights:
- attending all of the seminars
- visiting all of the manufacturers booths
- seeing the new 2010 products
- attending Ka (Cirque du Soleil)
- seeing my mom
- attending Le Reve
- seeing the fountains at the Bellagio
- playing craps in the casino
- sushi at Okada
- just being in warm, sunny Las Vegas!
Alright I really did go to Las Vegas and work hard!
Some of the highlights on products I liked are:
GU (www.guenergy.com)
-new Gu Roctaine flavor - Pineapple
-new Gu flavor (for the holidays) - Vanilla Gingerbread
Both are VERY YUMMY!!!!
Power Bar (www.powerbar.com)Had a number of amazing products:
-if you have not had their Gel Blasts - you must!!! However, only 1 flavor available in Canada so far.
-Energy Bites - delicious and in a resealable package so you can have few without having a whole protein bar. Seal them up and have them after your next workout. Unfortunately, not available in Canada yet.
-Endurance Beverage - love this drink. Comes in Fruit Punch and Lemon Lime. I loved them both but again only limited flavors in Canada.
Some exciting new things from these folks:
-new easy-to-open resealable pouch bag
-new formulation that includes, all natural flavors and colors, tapioca syrup, naturally sweetened with evaporated cane juice, and six real fruit juices
-two new varieties:
Berry- a refreshing blend of blueberry, raspberry and strawberry flavors come together in a single bean.
Assorted- includes Lemon Lime, Orange, Berry and Fruit Punch all in one bag

SKIRT SPORTS (http://www.skirtsports.com/)
The 2010 line is amazing and I love the colors and prints they have gone with while keeping the same amazing skirt pieces! I finally got to meet Nicole (Nicole DeBoom - aka the genius behind Skirt Sports. Here we are both wearing Skirt Sports.

Oh what FUN! What a great job you have.
The gingerbread GU sounds creative but nothing is better than their chocolate mint flavour. It should not be seasonal - it should be a year round flavour.
You WILL email me or announce somehow when the chocolate mint ones come in, right? I'm gonna need another box or 2.
