I was recently asked to give a training and nutrition seminar for Hunt Oil in Dallas, TX. (http://www.huntoil.com/) I was first amazed how nice the office was, and yes I grumbled about the price of gas, but I also realized that they really look after their employees (did I say how nice their office was?) and when I learned what they were doing, I was very excited to participate.

Hunt Oil put together a MS150 cycling team, open to all their employees, purchased cycling outfits, held seminars and free lunches for participants, and even sponsored a rest stop at the race! 

My seminar revolved more around nutrition. I have to give out thanks to POWERBAR for allowing me to sound like a nutritionist! We went over calorie, sodium, and electrolyte intake and stressed how important it is to replenish what you lose if you are going to ride 150 miles! If you follow this link http://www.powerbar.com/NutritionResource/ToolsArticles/ you will have all the information you need to become a better athlete and perform better! We did some group rides and the team was ready on race morning.

Congratulations to all the Hunt Oil MS150 team members for having 2 good days on the bike and thanks to the company for supporting an active lifestyle for their employees.

Now if we can work on this $4.00 a gallon thing….
