Catching up to Dean Karnazes is no easy feat. Recently, in a brief interval between the six-day Gore-Tex TransRockies Run and the Kauai Marathon in Hawaii, the world-famous athlete and best-selling author known as the “Ultra Marathon Man” took some time out to discuss his new nutritional weapon of choice, Raptor Energy Bar. “I’m very, very particular about what I eat, especially in the crucial period just before and during an endurance event,” Karnazes says. “When you’re one hundred and seventy miles into a two-hundred-mile non-stop road race, you have very little margin for error with regard to nutrition. You need every nutritional edge possible. After extensively researching the major endurance bars and gels, it was in fact a newcomer to the category, Raptor, that impressed me the most.” Sources: http://www.prweb.com/releases/karnazes/marathon/prweb2863484.
