According to the rules of the event, George had to average at least 12 miles per hour for
each hour of the ride. For each completed hour of the ride, he earned 5 minutes time off
the bike for napping or other personal needs. George rode continuously for the first 16
hours. In the 178 hours, he used about 9.6 hours total for napping.
George’s ride was made possible by the fact that during the entire 222+ hours, he had no
muscle cramps, and his digestion worked well, with no bouts of nausea or vomiting
commonly seen in endurance exercise.
George did the event primarily on sportsdrinks with complex carbohydrates and protein,
and electrolyte supplements, and an occasional small bite of normal food.

As with any training for an ultra-endurance event, George had to spend many hours
cycling to build up his endurance. His training program stretched over many months.
George worked his way up to 24 hour rides in his training. He also trained for the sleep
deprivation, getting by on only 3 to 4 hours of sleep per night for months.

PreRace Packs for vitamins, minerals and metabolic supplements
"I took the pre-race packs at least once every 24 hours or so."
S! Caps for electrolyte replacement
"S! Caps were a huge success in keeping me from cramping during the entire ride.
CLIP2 for complex carbohydrates, protein and fat
"It was amazing that in addition to my thirst I found myself actually craving the stuff....
not sure what brought that on, but perhaps I was just getting a bit dehydrated and just
wanted to suck down the liquid fuel for the benefits it was obviously providing to me as
I pushed on."
AMINO H.P. for complex carbohydrates and amino acids
"CLIP2 was used primarily during the day and Amino H.P. at night....neither one upset
my stomach at all...folks were amazed that I lived on that stuff for over 9 days. Doses
were balanced to avoid over-hydration and peeing a lot unnecessarily." Amino did a
great job of keeping me mentally focused and confident during the entire night. I was
mentally sharp and could have done my taxes on day 9. I was pain-free at the end of the
ride. I attribute this in many respects to the Amino H.P. I was consuming."
Recovery Packs to help re-build damaged tissues
I took them for 3 days straight after the event, and with rest and no stress from the job,
I'm fortunate to have recovered so quickly knowing that all the micro damage done
inside my body was healing just fine thanks in part to the success of your advice and
taking of the post race Recovery Packs."
The product set
"The SUCCEED products were necessary to sustain me for this kind of endurance
event. I've been using them since 2007 and have set 3 Guinness World Records with
them."
