The team at First Endurance designed PreRace with their top athletes in mind.
“I don’t drink coffee so when I take PreRace, I really feel it; it’s a huge boost,” says Levi Leiphemer, who started using PreRace before the 2007 Tour de France. “I find even a half a scoop is enough for me.”
Developed to improve stamina and to increase oxygenation of muscles, time to exhaustion and maximum workload, PreRace is not your typical supplement. It contains caffeine, citrulline malate, taurine, quercetin and a proprietary neuro-stimulant blend. It works by stimulating the nitric oxide system.
First Endurance says, when stimulated, the nitric oxide system improves blood flow, clears lactate and delivers more nutrients to working muscles. Citrulline malate and taurine have been shown to enhance cardiac output leading to numerous endurance benefits. The formula also improves cognitive function by stimulating the central nervous system.
While not a scientific experiment, I used PreRace at three mountain bike races this year. All three were relatively short (under three hours) but very fast races with considerable amounts of climbing. Each time I raced my singlespeed and I felt pretty much unstoppable while climbing from the gun, like I could stand up and give it everything I had for as long as I needed. That’s always a good feeling. Prerace is worth trying.- B. Riepe.

Active ingredients: L-Taurine, Citrulline Malate, Quercetin, DiMethyl Amino Ethanol, Caffeine Anhydrous, Metabromine, Catechin, Malic Acid
Purpose: Prerace was not designed specifically as a fat-burner but rather as a pre-workout race stimulant. However, the ingredients in PreRace no doubt have a thermogenic effect (i.e., they stimulate the body to burn fat). Each 1.5 tsb serving contains 200mg caffeine, which acts as the primary stimulant. When mixed wit PreRace's other ingredients, caffeine has been shown to have neurostimulant properties, which can provide heightened mental focus.
Notes: Because it's ingested in liquid form (it's a mixable powder), Prerace is absorbed very quickly, and you should start to feel the effects within 30 minutes. The powder has a bitter taste if it's taken by itself, so it's best to mix with a flavored drink (Tangerine EFS works well).

After receiving very positive feedback from the likes of CSC’s Dave Zabriskie and the Gerolsteiner team, First Endurance has released their pre-exercise PreRace supplement onto the consumer market. It comes in favour-free powder form that can be mixed with any drink taken before or during a ride and provides a potent-and entirely legal- jumpstart. First Endurance claims the use of PreRace will provide significant assistance in fending off fatigue, and the high caffeine content will certainly help towards this, as well as assisting in the breakdown of carbohydrate, which assists in energy production. With claims that PreRace also improves mental acuity, Procycling’s editor is already adding it to his staff’s first cup of tea in the morning.

First Endurance continues to stay at the forefront of endurance nutrition by developing PreRace, a revolutionary new pre-exercise supplement that provides endurance athletes with a potent mental and cardiac jump-start prior to a race or workout. Like all First Endurance products, Prerace is legal and uses clinically effective doses of nutrients, making it the most effective pre-exercise supplement on the market. The PreRace formula provides all the ingredients needed to increase mental stamina, increase time to exhaustion, increase maximum workload, improve mental clarity and increase oxygenation of muscles. Pre Race comes as a flavor-free powder that can be added to any pre-exercise or during exercise drink mix, like First Endurance’s EFS (Electrolyte Fuel System).

PUT SOME JUICE IN YOUR TANK
This is what I don’t understand: Not long ago Taurine was banned (in the form of Red Bull) in Canada, but Absynth wasn’t. Anyway, the PreRace powder contains 3000mg of Taurine per serving among other substances. You should drink it about 30-45 minutes before racing or riding and start with half a scoop so your body understands what’s happening.
