@pillarperformance_ - Certified Good Gear - We here at Bottle.It are aware of smoke and mirrors, the snake oil, the claims, the "studies"... So when Pillar kept popping up in our News Feed we approached cautiously and with a big stick.

Got on the Magnesium. Tasted good. Had 2 nights solid sleep before Tim Reed pops into the study for a podcast wearing the P hat. It triggered the curiosity even further. If a high performing, highly researched, promoter of no BS, 1% finding goodness is endorsing the brand. Surely it's doing something right.

2 weeks later I'm a converted fan boy. The ironman training meant I was drinking 3 litres of water a day, problem being, I went to bed and had to get up twice before my 5am alarm to go to the toilet.

Not on Pillar. Out like a light for 7 hours. Intact, if I took it too far away from bed time, I wouldn't make the bed.

So when I meet @damienfitzpatrick at Cairns Ironman I told him straight away, I wanted to know, I wanted to support, I wanted to share what the G O was with Pillar.

Not only for training, but for Mental Health you need sleep.

Thank you to Charlie Lawson and Damien Fitzpatrick for there time.

A  Zoom conversation with one of Australia's leading coaches about how to approach Noosa Triathlon. As we look to not only Race Noosa, but raise a huge amount of coin for the KIDS Foundation, Clint has generously donated his time and expertise to our race group to help ease any pre race nerves.
We work through all three elements of the race as well as answering some important questions.

Join via Zoom as we work through a few common mistakes, some advice and finish up with a q & a.

Big Thankyou to Clint again from https://rpgcoaching.com/ ...

Here at Bottle.It we value coaches as a special type of human, someone who sacrifices there own time, shares their knowledge, and their wisdom to ensure an Athlete reaches full potential. So we jumped at the opportunity to sit down with a friend of Bottle.It Clint Rowlings to talk about just that, Coaching. We covered his background with racing, just how special Kona is, and what the future holds for him and RPG.

Clint's About Me from RPGcoaching.com

 Having spent his childhood being dragged to every triathlon event on the east coast of Australia watching his dad compete the triathlon and endurance sport lifestyle was almost a forgone destiny. The spectating soon progressed to competing in kids events and dabbling in endurance sport throughout his teens.

Races became a weekly occurrence. Late nights were replaced with early mornings and soon enough the hobby became a lifestyle.

Clint has competed in 70.3 and Ironman events throughout Asia, Oceania and North America.

Being exposed to the sport from an early age has helped build a broad depth of knowledge in endurance sports and exercise physiology.

After completing the Triathlon Australia coaching course in 2015 and Later on the USAT core coaching course Clint has worked with athletes with superb success at helping them reach their goals.

Guided by the RPG coaching philosophy, Clint’s aim is to build a well rounded athletes who achieve their realistic training goals but not at the expense of the other pursuits or relationships with loved ones.

Recently sat down with an amazing member of the running, triathlon and First Nation community Nat Heath. We sat down with no real plan of attack and cover all things  Bottle.It and discuss TriMob, Kona, Ironmans, Aboriginal culture, Reidy's bedroom 😂  & much more.

The Great Patty Mac

The Bloke can Run, we knew that, he could swim, he learnt how to ride. We now know he can put together a 10hr 39min debut Ironman. We now know, it wasn't enough, Join me as i discuss Port, the Upcoming Cairns Ironman, and how important an Ironman is in regards to building a better Mental Strength.

Below is P-macs Bottle.It Athlete Review:

Athlete in Review - @patmacyep

Patrick McNamara , The Runner.

Bottle.It was in it's formative stages when Patty and Beau went for Patty's longest ride. It was a 40k pedal, followed by a large chips and a 6 pack that PMac announced his intentions to throw a 3.8k swim and 180k ride, infront of a Marathon.

It was meet with strong stoke and encouragement. We knew he could run, Marathons had become this blokes Park Runs. But had only just got a wetsuit and road bike.

It's only when we throw ourselves into the unknown do we find out how far we can actually go.

Patty Mac bit off more than he can chew, but, went to town chewing that mouthful with a ever present grin.

Patty lives to turn hurt into fun. His mantra was present from day 1 and, to be honest, there was something magic when Patty was joining you on a longy. The cyclists in us enjoyed trying to break him, (unsuccessfully), and the runner in him, tried to break us on the ROTB, (Sucessfully, Rhys* held his own and benefited immensely).

Patty Mac did his prep with the assistance of more clubs, communities and friendship groups then most politicians count on for a vote. He is a flag flyer for some of the best clubs in the East, and to have him in a Bottle.It suit was special.

Patty swam past swimmers, rode past cyclists, and had a trot that has left him with an unscratched itch.

Despite throwing down a 10hr 39min on debut, P-Mac in his own words was left "humbled" by an amazing day at Port Macquarie.

If you're not learning, you're not living, and I don't think Patty will let either the wetty or bike gather too much dust before getting that itch looked at.
