October 2010 was a record-setting month for SaltStick athletes, with wins at BOTH the Ironman Hawaii World Championships AND the Maui XTerra World Championship events.
Chris “Macca” McCormack won his second World Champion title on Oct 9th, and Conrad Stoltz claimed his 4th XTerra Triathlon World Championship title on Oct 24th.
Macca uses the SaltStick dispensers on his Specialized Shiv racing bike, filled with SaltStick Caps. During the Ironman Kona event, Macca used about 10 capsules during the 112 mile bike leg, and several more during the run segment.
Conrad has used SaltStick Caps for the past several years and countless race wins. He usually opens the capsules into his water bottle to fortify his sports drink and ward off cramping.
In addition to Macca and Conrad, many other athletes have had incredible races in Kona and Maui. Here are some of their performances:
