June had a theme and I didn't plan it: find out what holds up under pressure. With summer in full swing, we're finding out which products are holding their own and what our athletes are really made of.
If June had a theme for me, it was finding out what holds up under pressure.
Let’s start with the HYROX World Championship in Stockholm.
HYROX World Championship
The World Champs is about as much pressure as a sport gets, and I couldn’t look away.
Hunter fought for everything out there; you could see it on his face.
Rich Ryan reminded everyone he's one of the best in the world at this. The venue was brutally hot, and Rich said it was one of the hardest courses he's ever run. He never let up.
Vivian Tafuto and Lauren Weeks took the Elite 15 Doubles world title, against some of the best women in the world, with Vivian hanging onto Lauren's run pace the whole way. That pace is punishing.
And Eric Hinman? He won the men's pro 45-49 age group with a time that would embarrass guys half his age. That's what I want fitness to look like.
Same idea, lower stakes: the rest of my June was spent finding out what holds up in my own training. Here's what passed, and a new way for you to put it to the test yourself.
First, The Try It Page
You asked for a way to test stuff without committing to a full box. So we built it. Pick any 3, free with a $50 order. That's it.
Here's why I care about this one. Almost everything in this email started the same way for me. I tried it, then I bought it again. Now you get to do the trying part for free.
Second, Chews That Deliver More Carbs
The new Precision PF 30 Chew Variety Pack is a game-changer. 30g of carbs per packet, in two big 15g blocks - and their new watermelon flavor is one of the best-tasting chews out there.
The variety pack is the move, find your flavor before you buy a full bag.
Third, A Bottle Cleaner That Holds It's Own
I finally cleaned my bottles.
Be warned, this one's a little gross. I pulled out my bottles, my bladder, and a soft flask that had been sitting for a while. There's a film that hides in the corners where no brush reaches, and most of us just keep drinking through it.
Bottle Bright takes care of it, and you don't do a thing. Drop a tablet in, fill with water, and walk away. Comes back clean. Biodegradable, chlorine-free, no smell. Works on bottles, hydration packs, bladders, and handhelds.
And here's the June deal: get a free bag of Bottle Bright with the Feed Race Day Insulated Bottle.
Or grab the bottle with our Beat The Heat Bundle and get The Feed Lab Hydration for 20% off. Either way, you walk away with a clean setup.
Last, New Ketone-IQ Flavor Is a Hit of Summer
Ketone-IQ recently dropped a Blue Raspberry shot in June, and it reminds me of blue raspberry slushie from 7-11. It's good.
Clean focus, steady, no crash on the back end. If you've been curious about ketones but the flavor scared you off before, start with this one. Goes down easy, no weird aftertaste.
That's my June. The athletes in Stockholm found out what they're made of. You can find out what works for you with a lot less suffering: go to the Try It page, pick 3, and see what holds up.
