Taylor Knibb is Tokyo Bound

from Grit2Greatness Endurance Hosted by Rich

TOKYO BOUND! What a race it was in Yokohama! With a dominant performance on the bike, 23-year-old Taylor Knibb qualified for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team via her gold-medal showing. And Morgan Pearson, picking off people with a blistering 29:30 10k, became the first U.S. man to qualify for the Tokyo Games by snagging the bronze in the men's race. Knibb and Pearson join Summer Rappaport as the first three U.S. athletes to qualify for the Olympic Triathlon Team — the rest of the team will be named via discretion by USA Triathlon's Games Athlete Selection Committee. Our guest this week is the gutsy and aggressive Tokyo-bound Taylor Knibb!

UCAN keeps blood sugar steady compared to the energy spikes and crashes of sugar-based products. Steady energy equals sustained performance! Saw Tim O'Donnell has his hands on UCAN EDGE. Each has 15g of SuperStarch Energy and 0g sugar. They are not a gel consistency, which is awesome! Is much more like a liquid. Tear off the top and just rolled it up. It wasn't sticky like gels. The flavor is like the tropical orange flavor of the Energy SuperStarch powder. I may my extra test tubes of UCAN SuperStarch. You put in the training, so don't let nutrition limit your performance. Use UCAN in your training and racing to fuel the healthy way, finish stronger and recover more quickly! ucan.co/discount/303UCAN/ or ucan.co ucan.co/discount/303UCAN/ or ucan.co, Interview with Taylor Knibb Taylor Knibb and Morgan Pearson qualified fo
