Question for TriToy...
Quote | Reply
Okay so this isn't so much a Womens post but I know she posts here all the time... and I figured other people could probably benefit from the answer instead of just PMing her...

So anyways, I've noticed for a while that in your signature line you're "Sponsored by Suntheanine, Lycored and Celadrin "

My question is, as an amateur, what kind of stuff do you have to do to fulfill sponsorship obligations for a medicine/drug? In tris, if you're sponsored by Felt, Zipp, Cervelo, Specialized, Zoot, Desoto, etc. I would think it's easy - wear/use their stuff, win in it, get your photos taken, etc. But with a pharmeceutical sponsor, it seems like it would be hard.

The reason I'm asking is because it looks like you've hooked up a SWEET deal, and I'm wondering how I can get in on the non-tri sponsorship action, and figured you could give some good advice. I can think of potential sponsors, but I have no idea how I could pitch to potential non-sport related sponsors what kind of obligations I can fulfil for them.

And, hopefully I haven't asked you to violated any contract/agreement you have with them :-)

I think she is joking about her sponsorship... Kind of like me saying I'm sponsored by Advil, because I take so much of it.

And now, you do know everything, including the taste of humble pie. Not to worry, as there are no calories involved.

no I really am sponsored - no joke - my p3C, zipps and powertaps were paid for by the makers of Celadrin, though at the time for a different product.

I consult in the supplement world, and these three companies loved that I was getting into triathlon - and not as some sort of genetic freak. So separate from reviewing their research etc, with some of the cities they have targeted for media I race -

so my first triathlon in florida was paid for by lycored - in exchange I went on local news in Tampa and radio to talk about the research on sun protection and the lycored product. (I also take it for recovery but that is a whole other story that I am happy to elaborate on but not the point of this).

Philadelphia and Chicago were paid for by Suntheanine - thus the DeSoto suit I wore at Chicago is emblazoned with Suntheanine - tv fell through at the last minute in chicago but I have a long relationship with them so this will be on going. PA I had some radio interviews.

The angle is a bit different here - I already do media for them as a doc (these happen to be 3 products that I think highly of). I have been doing this kind of work for 10 years - and just approached the PR firm that I have a relationship with about my training and racing.

We are still developing how this will look in the future - whether they will have a presence at races....

I am (using existing research) looking at supplements for recovery in endurance sports - these all tie in.

so my sig really is not a joke -

http://www.lycored.com
http://www.celadrin.com
http://www.suntheanine.com

for more of the research on those products....

For what it's worth, the "iknoweverything" moniker is not actually because I think I know everything, but rather because everyone else in the main forum seems to, so I thought I'd have fun with them. The best part is, the WORST of the egotistical people from there always make a comment about how I very clearly don't know everything.... hehe.
