Star Events, the organizing team behind the forthcoming TriStar Mallorca 2012 is ‘delighted to have High5 providing sports nutrition for all competitors.’ TriStar Mallorca 2012 takes place in Porto Colom on 15 April. The event also has Sailfish on board as official supplier of swim caps and wetsuits.
According to new research cited by High5, the sports nutrition brand could help athletes ‘ride 26% further, maintaining race speed, with no additional training by simply changing your nutrition to High5 on race day and following the High5 Faster & Further Nutrition Guide.’
In a 2012 test run by sport scientists, cyclists were told to ride a 60 mile sportive at their best speed and were then required to continue as far as possible at the same intensity. On one occasion, they used their own brand of nutrition as they would normally for an event of this distance. On a second occasion, they used High5’s award winning EnergySource drink and followed the scientific nutrition strategy detailed in the High5 Faster & Further Nutrition Guides. On average the test subjects rode 26% further at their best speed using High5.
TriStar111 Sant Salvador King
For 2012, the organisers of TriStar Mallorca are presenting a new challenge in tandem with the race sponsorship from High5. This year the organisers are searching for their own King of the Mountain, for the fastest climb to the top of Sant Salvador. The fastest time will see the winner crowned as TriStar111 Sant Salvador King, with the winner also scooping up a free week stay at Bendinat Apartments in Portocolom.
Cancer care charity
The second edition of the TriStar Mallorca is also based on social responsibility, and on supporting sport for children. The event’s local charity local is ASPANOB, a foundation which takes care of families with children that are suffering from cancer.
