Omega 3 specialist Nordic Oil has confirmed its support for two-time Ironman UK Champion Dan Halksworth, who is set to join the brand’s team of Nordic Oil Ambassadors.
As a top long-distance triathlete, Dan has achieved some impressive race results over the past couple of years; most notably winning Ironman UK in both 2012 and 2013 before going on to qualify for the coveted 2013 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
At Kona, he raced well and finished 24th Male Pro in 2013, an impressive result on the challenging course and in his first year, against a world-class field.
Dan is pleased to be working with Nordic Oil. Commenting on the new sponsorship deal, he said “I have heard great things about Nordic Oil over the past few months, and so made contact with the team to find out a little more about their range of products.”
He continued, “Ironman training and racing is very hard on the human body and so good health and immunity is absolutely vital in assuring consistent and high quality training. Omega 3 offers a whole host of health benefits; it helps to strengthen the immune system and improve recovery and adaptation.
“Having the support of Nordic Oil throughout my training and competition schedule will help to fuel my performance, and I’m really excited to see how I get on!”
James Slade, Founder of Nordic Oil said “We are delighted to support Dan across 2014, and are really excited to be working with such a talented young athlete. I raced Ironman UK myself last year, and so was able to see first-hand Dan’s incredible performance and energetic character. We wish Dan all the very best with his training, ahead of what I know will be an excellent racing season.”
Dan is now out in Australia enjoying some warm weather training ahead of the 2014 race season. He is set to compete in his first race of the year at Ironman New Zealand on 1 March, followed by Ironman Melbourne only three weeks later, on 23 March.
Dan will be joining an already impressive line-up of triathletes, who are enjoying the benefits of Nordic Oil. Nordic Oil Ambassadors include, Chrissie Wellington MBE, 2013 Ironman 70.3 UK Champions – Eimear Mullan and Ritchie Nicholls; and ‘Sportie Doc’ Tamsin Lewis.
The Nordic Oil team also recently announced a partnership with the Racetime Events Triathlon Team, a high performance elite triathlon squad.
Nordic Oil was founded in 2010 by James Slade who was frustrated by what he saw as the low quality of many Omega 3 supplements found on the high street. With an extensive knowledge of the healthcare industry and experience as a chiropractor, James was in a good position to develop and launch Nordic Oil as a premium supplement brand.
Nordic Oil aims to supply top quality products made from the best ingredients, at an affordable and competitive price. The oil is produced from carefully selected fish sources from deep, clear waters, including sardines, anchovies and mackerel; species that are characterized by especially low levels of environmental impurities. Nordic Oil is produced at a state-of-the-art production facilities in Northern Europe.
The Nordic Oil range includes two primary products: High Grade Omega 3 Oil and High Grade Omega 3 Capsules. Both are of a premium quality, as they are ‘sourced from the purest ingredients and are refined, filtered and distilled to ensure the seal of excellence.’
