“If you build it, they will come…”

This famous movie quote proved to be correct this weekend at Key Biscayne, Miami, FL. If you are a triathlete, runner or cyclist and you exercise every Saturday and Sunday at the Key, we probably met. This was my first event promoting the PowerBar nutrition products. Since I’ve become a PowerBar Team Elite member, I wanted to share with my teammates and friends the benefits about their products. So, together with my friend, coach and TriJungle’s triathlon store owner Magui Martinez-Pena – who is also a PowerBar Team Elite member – we put together a tent and welcome everyone that was training last Saturday morning, May 22.

We had fun before, during and after! On Friday we worked on getting ready  for the “event” – Magui is all about logistics :) . We cut some of the PoweBar Energy Bars, separated the PoweBar Gel Blasts, PoweBar Bites, and the PoweBar Endurance drink for people to sample them out. We also made sure we had some descriptions and information about these products and we were all set! On Saturday, people came by to check and try the products. It looked like an Oasis for those hungry athletes! They ate and drank everything. The PowerBar tent turned out to be a big success. People were asking how often we would be coming to the Key!! So I guess the movie line was correct: “If you build it, they will come…” just make sure you have enough of those Recovery bars, people LOVE them!
