Your sponsorship team has been working hard day and night making connections to get the best companies in the industry together and working with us so we can train and race better than all the rest.  With all that said we are happy to welcome two amazing new companies on board, RestWise and Energy Lab Nutrition! Welcome to the JSC/SBS family. Registered members will be getting a separate email with the codes and be on the lookout for additional announcements in the coming weeks.
RestWise

Restwise was created by a couple of triathletes who were trying to stay competitive while juggling training with work, parenting, and all the other demands.  It is a software system that lets you quantify how recovered you are from training, so you know when to rest and when to push hard so you get the most out of your workouts.
If you have ever wondered whether you are training too hard or should push harder, if you ever wondered how much the stress of work, travel, and sleepless nights affects your training, if you have ever felt like you should take a day off but weren’t sure if you were just being lazy, Restwise can help.  You enter answer 12 questions each day, and Restwise analyzes the information and provides a recovery score that helps you and your coach guide your training.
We have arranged a 25% discount off of the subscription cost.  The first month is free, and when you sign up you get a series of informative emails about recovery, so there is really no reason not to give it a try.  http://www.restwise.com/
Energy Lab Nutrition
Energy Lab Nutirion based out of The Woodlands and are now our official salt sponsor to help us fight that Texas heat just in time for the coming summer, with their great product ElectroSalt..
ElectroSalt™ aka Cramp Killer from Energylab’s Essential Series is a Synergistic Blueprint of the most key electrolytes with one thing in mind, cramp prevention through proper replenishment and assimilation of key electrolytes that your body needs from the rapid depletion of Sweat! Their nine bio-available electrolyte platform is designed to support hydration, increase performance and support optimal muscle function, and lighting fast recovery. Energylab doesn’t take cramps lightly and their team knows the importance of keeping electrolytes in balance, muscles hydrated and more.  http://energylabnutrition.com/electrosalt.html
