Before Frankie Andreu's time competeing in the Tour de France, his number one dream was becoming an Olympian. The following is an artcle written by Frankie himself detailing some of what it means to be an Olympian.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio fast approaching INFINIT wanted to get an idea of just what being an Olympian really means.  To do so, we reached out to Brian and Caitlin Gregg, two Olympic skiers and INFINIT athletes, to see what it really means to represent your home nation on a world stage.

Tour of America’s Dairyland (TOAD) is a legendary 10 day criterium race series surrounding Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Racers travel from all over the world to compete against the best criterium racers in an effort to take home the pink cow-print leader’s jersey. In a race with conditions as brutal as these and racers going all out for the majority of the race, hydration is a major key to success at the TOAD. 

Maverick Multisport is a team of individuals all working towards one goal, to improve one another in the sport of triathlon and to help the community surrounding the sport.  Maverick is a professional triathlon team based out of the United States that was started by team Director Chris Hutchens in 2012.  The team began as a way for Chris, and three pro triathletes, to secure sponsorship from companies like INFINIT Nutrition.  Today the team has grown to become something Chris had never really imagined.  The team now consists of seven pros, roughly 20 age groupers, and a youth development team to help build up the triathletes of tomorrow.

With over 40 wins per season over the past 6 years and & multiple state and national titles, the KHS-Maxxis-JLVelo team is one of the best cycling teams in the US. INFINIT nutrition is partnered with the KHS-Maxxis-JLVelo cycling team to provide them with all of their nutritional racing needs.

As the Tour de France heads into its last week of competition, the race distances will get substantially shorter but that does not mean they get any easier.  After rest day two this Tuesday, the riders head into the mountains for some of the most difficult climbing days on the planet.  Having already completed the incredibly strenuous, 1800 m climb that is Mont Ventoux, the riders already know what’s to come.  With only 5 stages left in the tour the riders are ready to settle in and take on the mountains of western Europe.  This week, Frankie Andreu explains just what it will take to propel riders over the top, as they prepare to finish one of the longest months of riding in their lives.

Meet Rob Barlow, one of the most adventurous athletes we have ever sponsored. Rob is attempting a feat that has never even been attempted. He is hiking, biking, climbing, and rappelling the 100 highest mountains (the "Centennials") in Colorado without the aid of a car. The effort will require 1200 miles of biking and 500 miles of hiking in 65 days. The average work load is 28 miles per day, 32% hiking and 68% biking. It has never been done before. In fact, the Centennials have never even been navigated in one effort using a car to go between mountain ranges.

When it comes to the Tour de France, and cycling as a whole, few are known to be as knowledgeable as Frankie Andreu. Frankie raced the Tour nine times, from 1992 to 2000, and captained the United States Postal Service team from 1998-2000. The following is a look at what goes through the heads of riders and what goes on behind the scenes before the Tour written by Frankie himself:

INFINIT Nutrition takes time to remember one father that has made a huge impact on the lives of those around him, David Friedrich. In February, David passed away after a two-year battle with ALS, but he never let his condition stop him from bringing joy to the people around him. David was not only a father, but was also the founder of the Eleonore Rocks Foundation, an original investor in INFINIT Nutrition, and a multiple Ironman finisher.

Jenn J. Lee has been paddle boarding for the last five years and has recently began working with INFINIT for all of her in-race nutrition. For years, Jenn has worked on and off with other companies to try to find something that worked for her when she finally stumbled on INFINIT thanks to the recommendation of her conditioning coach. Jenn was a former competitive skier and equestrian rider that moved to Hawaii and was looking for something to keep her active. Today Jenn is one of the top female paddle boarders in the world and continues to work together with INFINIT to push her to her absolute maximum on her board.
