D3 Sponsorship News
D3 Multisport is very proud to announce that it has teamed up with INFINIT Nutrition to provide customized nutritional products for D3's Athletes. INFINIT Nutrition is the first fully customizable approach to endurance nutrition allowing athletes to adjust strength of flavor, the number of calories, how much electrolyte and even add protein and caffeine. By creating their own formula racers now can train and race on a personalized solution that eliminates the needs for any gels, pills or solid foods.
INFINIT 's Michael Folan says "We are very glad to be working with D3 Multisport. They have been a long time supporter of INFINIT for years and it is great to finally to make it official".
D3 joins the growing list of the world’s best coaching groups working with their clients to provide custom solutions for their individual needs. As an INFINIT Certified Coach D3 has a unique position to integrate training and racing plans along with nutritional strategies.
D3’s Mike Ricci says “Infinit Nutrition has mastered the obvious! They let you create a custom drink with the right amount of calories, sodium, strength of flavor, protein and caffeine that’s right for YOU. Thankfully, no more fumbling with gels and bars as all your calories are in liquid form! While I was researching nutrition choices, I contacted Infinit President and inventor, Michael Folan. He explained the importance of osmolality and how it has a direct effect on how well my stomach empties and how my body stays fueled during long distance events. This was a huge eye opener to me. The Infinit support staff is professional, knowledgeable, and timely. Infinit Nutrition is what I recommend for all of our athletes!”
In order to take advantage of the INFINIT Nutrition offer – go to the D3 home page (www.D3Multisport.com) and click on the banner on the upper right hand side of the page.

Get Rolling with the Run
Let us assume you have taken 2 months off from running. In this article we will make an assumption that you are new to the sport and have ended your season on a good note and without injury. You simply took time off because you needed to and are now ready to get rolling again.
The first week back finds you excited to get back into things, motivated by goals and a new racing schedule. You know you need to work your way gradually back into the run to avoid injury by not over doing it. One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to create a plan that includes detailed structure on how to proceed with our running.

D3 Pro Tips: Avoiding Long Rides on the Trainer
If you’ve read my training journal from this winter you’ll notice two things. I wasn’t kidding when I said in November “I refuse to ride indoors this winter” and in December when I said “triathlon is a summer sport”.
I have managed a lot of time in the pool, but almost no bike and run miles. Usually the winter is my favorite time of year to work on my run. This years off season has been spent trying to heal a running injury. One reason I have not ridden much is the wind this year has been epic. Of course on days I’m at work it’s dead calm and warm. Why not ride inside? Well, I just don’t enjoy it and since triathlon is my hobby and my “fun time” I figure why bother doing something I don’t enjoy. Most winters I’ll get on the trainer a couple of times, usually late in the winter when I’m starting to worry about my form with the first races coming up. If you share my despise of riding indoors then maybe I can offer some advice.
