Just a shout out to Brian at PBN for taking care of me when my brain lets me down. I'm racing Augusta this weekend and being the dumbass that I am, I forgot to order my EFS nutrition for the race. I ordered it today but it won't get to me before I leave for the race. Brian reached out and offered to ship it to my hotel for me to make sure I get it before the race. Customer service is the number one reason I go to certain companies, and Brian has solidified Personal Best Nutrition as the only place I'll go for my nutritional needs.

We tend to call out the bad customer service but don't make the effort to acknowledge when we receive exceptional service. I'm taking the time to thank Brian for providing awesome service. Thanks, Brian!!

Although I've never ordered from PBN, Brian loaned me one (1) aero helmet once. He is very helpful around here, organizing track night one (1) time per week and ocean swims two (2) times per week.

He used to be very fast, too, but now he's just old.

Another strong positive feedback on PNB, and on Brian - as athlete, coach, and businessman. Our sport tend to "glide" over such high quality, silent, under-apreciatted resources, while focusing on more scandalous and/or self-marketing ones. Brian - keep doing all the good things you do!

Plus, he's my go to body boarding partner! We did a lot of "advanced open water swimming" curriculum "research" during that great hurricane swell in late August!

IM Louisville 2007 I ordered my nutritionals a month before but there was a production issue with one of the companies (they no longer produce endurance nutritionals) week before the race still no shipment Brian sent me what I needed from his personal stash.

His knowledge, guidance and counseling helped me to a PR this weekend at IM Maryland

I couldn't agree more.

There's so much nutrition info out there, and Brian always offers the right, research-based answer that rises above the noise. I end up not only buying what I need from PBN, but finding out exactly what it is that I need.

He helped me setup a plan for Atlantic City this year. We looked at some of my half nutrition plans and adapted from there. I ended up with a solid plan and was happy with my race.

Agreed:

1. He's very knowledgeable
2. He's very helpful in applying that knowledge
3. He's old and no longer fast :-)

Thanks for your comments guys...always appreciated. With that, I do need to provide some clarity...

Craig: I have a soft spot in my heart for anyone who still races on a Ti frame ;-)

& for all you talking sh#t about how slow & old I am, let it be known that I ran a 16:58 5k this spring (granted....not as fast as I was, but not too shabby) & won the M35-39 at a fairly competitive ocean mile swim this summer (AND the pre-race nutritional strategy for that evening mile swim included more-than-an-appropriate number of Mike's Hard Lemonade!).

My athletic skillset now lies in the areas of chasing an 8&9yr old around the beach & stealing my son's bodyboard & GoPro to catch a few waves w/ Mr WillInNJ...

As for the rest of the Brian-Is-Old-And-Slow Peanut Gallery, I'll see you over the winter Simple Stevie for a little SoFL smackdown ;-)

In all seriousness, thanks again guys for your support & letting me get up everyday & never having to go to 'work'. Catch you soon!!

I've known Brian for half my life now. He's the man that got me into the sport and has played an integral part in my development! He is hands down the best in the bizz when it comes to performance nutrition and always goes out of his way to get product in hand when its most needed! Keep up the good work my man!

Scott, I just watched the tv coverage of Challenge Atlantic City and you killed it. Fun to watch, man! We ran into an issue with a shipment and Brian is still going above and beyond to get my package to me before my race on Sunday. He is Da Man!!
