GU Product Review and Giveaway

28 Jul

As promised, in celebration of my 100th post I’m having a giveaway! I was recently sent tons of GU products to sample, review, and giveaway by Scott at Outside PR. So not only am I lucky to get to try it for free but one of my readers is lucky as well! :)  And just as an FYI, if I hit 100 followers (or more) I will be having another giveaway as well so be sure to share my blog with everyone!


I decided to try the GU Chomps on my most recent run because I love Clif Shot Bloks so I thought I might like these. Here is what the GU energy website has to say about them: 


GU Chomps deliver the premium ingredients and performance benefits you’ve come to expect from
GU Energy products:
• Amino acids for added focus, rippin’ energy and speedy recovery.
• Vitamin C + E, those mighty antioxidants that combat tissue breakdown.
• Sodium and potassium to restore electrolyte balance.
• Exclusive blend of complex and simple carbohydrates


And let me tell you, I loved them! They were perfect for me. I loved the taste and they gave me the burst of energy I needed. Now I haven’t had a chance to try anything else yet, but if they are anything like the chomps I’m sure I’ll love them. 

One lucky winner will get all of the GU products pictured above! 
Gel, Brew, Chomps, and Roctane!



How to enter: 


1. Become a follower of my blog. Leave a comment. 
2. “Like” GU on Facebook. Leave a comment.  
3. Follow GU on Twitter. Leave a comment. 
4. Enter my virtual race. Leave a comment. (worth 2 entries)
5. Share this giveaway on your blog, facebook, twitter, etc. Leave a comment for each. 


I’ll be accepting entries until Monday, August 2nd and I will announce the winner on that Tuesday!

    I love Gu, either the Blackberry or the Chocolate Outrage (my fav).

    I have tried the Brew and it's, well… strong. :)

    Btw, good luck on the half this weekend! I will be there too.

    Oh man! How have I not seen your blog before now :-( LOVE IT! And This giveaway would be awesome for me to win as I have been eyeballing the GU variety pack for months now.

    Long story short, I'm training for my first Army 10-miler (first race ever besides a few 5ks)in October. I was NOT a runner before this and there have been ups and downs but I;m pushing. I recently completed my first 5 miles at once during a run. VERY happy girl right here. ANYWAYS….
