The Sport Factory: Thank you to Head Coach Matt Russ for giving me the tools to be the best I can be. I am convinced that without a knowledgeable coach, we are not going to even scratch the surface of achieving our goals. The Sport Factory is stacked with knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated coaches to help us reach peak performance. Run analysis, VO2 testing, bike fitting, single-sport coaching… everything you need!

Roswell Bicycles: A “Top-100 Retailer,” Roswell Bicycles proudly supports Team Sport Factory, and we’re very grateful to have them! RB’s huge inventory ensures that I can get everything I need for training and race day. Also a big thank you to Ryan and Mike, who take care of “Princess” (my bike) and make sure she’s ready to roll. I appreciate you guys a ton.

Powerbar: I have religiously eaten a “Powerbar Breakfast” on race day for years, so I was thrilled to be a part of Powerbar Team Elite this year. Powerbars in the morning, Powergels on the bike and run, and I’m a huge fan of the new Powerbar Gel Blasts now in training. I just have to keep myself from eating them like candy!!

Tri City New Balance: A huge thank you to Wes and his team at Tri City New Balance. These guys are truly dedicated to getting you the right fit in the right shoe. I am immensely grateful to them for their support of my running/multisport goals over the years. Wes has generously offered a 15% discount + Free Shipping (UPS Ground) and NO Tax to my friends. Go to www.TriCityNewBalance.com and enter discount code “FriendOfAmy." The toll-free customer service # is 1-866-417-4637.

Zipp Speed Weaponry: “Woosh, woosh, woosh!” Who doesn’t love the sound of that hot Zipp disc wheel? Well, maybe not if you’re getting passed by one. . . ? I love it! Riding my bike is one of my favorite things to do, and on race day, I feel like I’ve got all the weapons I need, whether I’m pimpin’ my Zipp Disc or my 808 rear and 404 front wheel. Thank you to Zipp for their support of my goals to rip up every bike course I ride!

Nuun: I live in Georgia. Need I say more?! The heat and humidity can zap the life out of even the toughest people I know. I tend to stick with water only when training, so Nuun has truly saved me from being another electrolyte casualty many times! Plus it just makes my water taste a little better. I really like this product—give it a shot.

Tifosi Optics: Hot colors, styles, and designs. And a local Georgia company! Quit wasting your money on wicked expensive sunglasses when you can get an awesome value with all the latest technology, cool designs, and lightweight enough for racing from Tifosi. Roswell Bicycles has a great selection, too.

Yankz!: If you’re not using Yankz!, time to get with the program! Yankz! are a part of every triathlete/duathlete’s race day plan, so don’t be the last out of transition lacing up your shoes. I still can’t do a flying dismount, so I need all the help I can get to cut down my T-times!! ? Thanks to Yankz! for their support of Team Sport Factory and for providing us with the cool color laces we want. Another local Georgia company!

GameBreaker Athletics : Check out the hot new athletic clothing selections from the GameBreaker Store. GameBreaker is a new Athletic company that's on a mission. Their mission is to inspire everyone that we all can break this game of life and aspire to be whatever we want to be. Are you a GameBreaker? I know that I am.
