"Platinum Performance is a proud sponsor of Barb Lindquist, the No. 2 ranked triathlete in the world and the best short course triathlete in the world."
This past year, her racing season was filled with more wins than any other triathlon competitor. Early in 2002 she captured the Australian Accenture series overall title and also won the Aussie sprint title. She moved on to the world cup events, capturing the gold at Ishigaki as well as seven additional podium finishes to win five silver and two bronze medals. From there she went on to compete in a variety of non-drafting events, winning the Lifetime Fitness, Mrs. T's Chicago, and the L.A. Triathlon. Along the way she picked up the U.S. Championship title and was the top U.S. finisher at the Duathlon World Championship.
She wrapped her 2002 racing season in Cancun, Mexico on November 10, with a second place finish at the World Championships. All totaled for the year, Lindquist accumulated eight gold, seven silver, three bronze and a fourth place.
Each year she travels to as many as 20 races worldwide, training 25 hours a week to achieve her goals. This level of training and competition, Lindquist notes, pushes the limits of what most human bodies or immune systems can take. But still she manages to stay healthy and strong, something she attributes to the boost she gets from the Platinum Performance line of nutritional supplements.
"I am a candidate for being sick all the time," she says. "But I haven't been sick once since starting a regular program of Platinum.
In the morning before breakfast she takes two capsules of Ortho Chon supplements, three each of Hemo-Flo, Myo-Aid (see note below) and Platinum Minerals. She also sprinkles one to two scoops of Platinum granular formula over cooked oatmeal after her morning workout. "I actually start salivating after my swim thinking of Platinum melting into that hot oatmeal."
Throughout the day she snacks on two to four bars. "Loren and I particularly like eating a bar with an apple," she says. "A little bite of both in the mouth at the same time is heaven - so I'll have this as a dessert sometimes."
In the evening, either an hour before dinner, or right before bed, Lindquist takes the same Platinum supplements she takes in the morning – Ortho-Chon, Hemo-Flo and Myo-Aid - minus the minerals.
"I feel stronger than I ever have despite not putting on any bulky weight," says Lindquist. "An added bonus is for my girly side: Traditionally, my nails have been so brittle from being in the chlorine water and from living in a cold, dry climate. But now they are uncharacteristically strong and healthy."
She also wants people to know that Platinum products aren't just for high-performance athletes "It may make you feel like one," Lindquist says. "But you don't have to be a world class athlete to enjoy good health." To her Platinum is "food for life;" a great way to increase the nutritional quality of your daily diet, naturally. Platinum Performance products protect your heart and joints, aid the digestive tract, improve circulation, blood sugar level, skin, hair and even nails, providing a solid foundation for maintaining optimum health.
