WEEKEND RECAP: Jazmine Lowther Braves the Humidity

Madeira is notorious for its technical stairs and "soupy" Atlantic humidity.Jazmine Lowther’s podium finish was built entirely on a high-sodium barrier to protect her system from the elements.

• The Result: 3rd Place

Jazmine's Humidity Protocol

Jazmine focused on a high target of90-120g of carbs per hour, a level of intake that requires a pro-tip execution to manage on technical terrain:

"I place 3 Näak gels into the 150mL flasks, it’s faster to consume and means no sticky trash on the trails."

• The Sodium Shield: By utilizingBOOST™ Drink Mix Salted Cucumber at aid stations mixed with theBOOST™ Gels Salted Lemon, she maintained a massive intake of>1000mg of sodium per hour. This was critical in the humid Portuguese air to keep her blood hydration levels stable and prevent her heart rate from skyrocketing due to dehydration.

• Night Shift: She introducedBOOST™ Gels Peach Tea(100mg caffeine) to stay sharp, vigilant, and safe through the dark, technical night sections.
