Triathlon Ontario Announces INFINIT Nutrition as its First Ever Sponsor

Triathlon Ontario members to get 20% off of all products 

November 11, 2013 – Triathlon Ontario, the governing body of the sport of triathlon in Ontario, announced today a one-year sponsorship agreement with INFINIT Nutrition Canada.   This agreement represents the first sponsor of Triathlon Ontario and its members in the history of the organization.
INFINIT Nutrition Canada fuels hundreds of Canadian Olympians with a partnership list that includes Swimming Canada, Cycling Canada, Rowing Canada, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific and Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, not to mention Boston’s Dougie Hamilton along with other current NHLers.  Now they want to fuel Triathlon Ontario.
INFINIT’s custom approach generates a custom formulation that is made to exactly match each individual’s nutritional requirements – all the carbs required from three different sources to maximize uptake, all the sodium/electrolytes needed to maintain balance, protein to get you through Iron distances if required and key amino acids that will help prevent muscle breakdown and aid recovery.  Best of all, the single source for all your nutritional needs will be formulated to be isotonic to your bodily fluids – this ensures immediate gastric emptying and then rapid absorption across the small intestine.
Fuelling on INFINIT during training, racing and while recovering ensures you take full advantage of all your hard work, allowing you repair, grow and ultimately perform at your potential.
Triathlon Ontario members will receive a 20% discount on all purchases of INFINIT Nutrition products when they enter the product discount code TO2014 during their online purchases, plus members will get a free nutritional consultation to assist in the creation of their own custom formulation to best suit their personal racing and training needs.
Exclusively for the launch of this new partnership, INFINIT has created a special triathlon package of its Go Pack product line that includes: 2 Ride Go Packs, 1 Run Go Pack, 1 Repair Go Pack, 1 Jet Fuel Go Pack and 1 Raw Go Pack.  The regular retail price (including shipping) for this bundled pack is $74.95 but with the 20% discount, T.O. members get it for $59.95, (a $120 value).
