Triathlon: Live Webcast will feature professional triathletes Desiree Ficker and Marcel Vifian

Desiree Ficker And Marcel Vifian To Get Personal About Their Training And Recovery Process With 80 Fans In Live Interactive Multimedia Experience April 27, 2006

Two of the hottest pro triathletes on the circuit will be getting personal about their training and recovery techniques with 80 fans in a free live webcast at 8:30 pm Eastern on Thursday, April 27, 2006. This unique, interactive format, allows the fans unheard of access to the athletes. Carri Bennet, CEO of ES Interactive is excited about the concept of bringing the fans together with the athletes. “By keeping the size of the webcast small, each fan has the opportunity to ask questions—actually interact with Desiree and Marcel,” said Bennet. An Ironman finisher herself, the concept of interactive webcasts was borne out of Bennet’s own curiosity about the pros. “Training can be so confusing...I often wondered what a pro eats? How they train? How much they train and how much recovery time they allow? This format gives the fans the opportunity to ask for themselves.”

Fans can go to www.esinteractive.net to register for this free interactive multimedia experience. The webcast is free to participants thanks to the wonderful generosity of sponsors: Recover-Ease, SBR, nuun, Endurasport Triathlon and Triathlonbag.com. The sponsors will also supply race entries and giveaways for Desiree and Marcel’s hard core fans.

This interactive multimedia experience is a production of ES Interactive. ES Interactive brings together athletes and the brands they endorse so that “access gets personal” for the fans.

About nuun -- Imagine being out on a long run or ride, or being in the gym. Rather than settle for water or buy a sugary drink from a convenience store, you just fill up your water bottle and drop in a couple of nuun tabs. By the time you've tied your laces or put on your pack, you've got a complex electrolyte drink that recharges your salts, but is refreshing and more efficiently absorbed than water alone or most sports drinks on the market. New nuun flavors have just been introduced! New flavors include lemon & lime, citrus fruits, and tri-berry.
