SUP can improve stability from your toes to your head, core strength and stability, leg strength and stability, which helps prevent injury, and it can also be used to develop cardiovascular fitness outside of the three main triathlon disciplines as a fun and easy way to cross-train. It can even be used to work on lat strength for your swim or maintain fitness while recovering from injury. But it takes a little bit of knowing what equipment to choose to effectively use SUP to help you to your next PR. In this guide to SUP, we’ll review how triathletes can benefit from standup paddling and how to find the right equipment.

Moms of Multisport

May 10, 2018

This Mother’s Day we honor the multitasking moms of Team INFINIT. We probably all have memories of our moms helping us learn how to ride a two-wheeler, getting up early to shuttle us to swim practice, and sitting through all-day meets and competitions. On top of all that, this group of multisport mamas absolutely crush it on their own two wheels and manage to balance a demanding training load with their busy lives. They are there for their kids’ first steps, and then go out to run 20 miles of their own. From motherhood to athletics, from work to play, this is our salute to all the moms in training.

2017 Chicago Marathon

Nov 6, 2017

I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2014 as my 2nd marathon and had ran 2:52:45 in what would be considered ideal marathon conditions, but I suffered some serious leg cramps in the final 6 miles that likely cost me several minutes. I was not using INFINIT at this time. Going into the 2017 race, I was excited to be using INFINIT knowing my nutrition was dialed in for me with the hopes that I would not experience the same cramping issues that had slowed me down in 2014.

Shangrila Rendon is a 36 year old native of Manila, Philippines who started her athletic career at age 24 when a friend invited her to run a 10k. Over the next twelve years Shangrila built up an impressive resume including a Guinness World Record and countless firsts in Ultraman competitions for a Filipino athlete (both male and female).

Shangrila’s greatest athletic challenge is still ahead of her, as she takes on The Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme Solo Competition. The race is entering its third year and thus far has only seen three finishers, all of whom thus far, were men.

Rendon on Bike

In her life, Shangrila has conquered things much more trying than the ultra endurance races she competes in. She is a survivor of sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse. The severe trauma she withstood early in her life caused her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and severe depression, which led her to struggle with alcoholism, all of which she has overcome against the odds. Shangrila now devotes her life to helping women and children around the world and in the Philippines. She competes in support of the Global Outreach and Assistance League (GOAL), an organization that works to address the needs of underrepresented women and children with programs that focus on health, prevention, and education.

INFINIT Nutrition has teamed up with Shangrila, nicknamed “Feisty Fox,” and will be fueling her with her own customized Sports Fuel as she competes in the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme Solo Competition.

“INFINIT gives me the unique ability to customize my nutrition to keep me energized, hydrated, and focused on performing at my absolute best.”

Rendon's INFINIT Mix

Shangrila worked with an INFINIT Formulation Specialist to design a mix with the perfect amount of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and protein to go strong all day, for consecutive days. Plus, the customized flavor options allowed her to create a formula that tastes exactly how she wants.
