HOW IT ALL BEGAN FOR OUR FOUNDERS!
"That’s me with my head in the trash can at the finish of my first Leadville 100. Breakfast isn’t half as tasty the second time around! Yep, I know firsthand how nutrition problems can torpedo all your training: gut bombs/GI issues, sweet and sticky flavors you can't stand, cramping, and losing track of all the drinks, gels, electrolyte pills, food, etc. I tried just about everything, but couldn't find an endurance product that simply worked.

Fed up with feeling bad on race day, I set out to make a simple, tasty endurance drink with complete energy, electrolytes, and hydration. It was my secret weapon for awhile, until other Leadville racers and friends in our hometown of Durango, CO started catching on. They had great results too and kept asking for more, and Tailwind Nutrition was born.

We’re a nano-sized family business, coming at nutrition from an endurance athlete’s perspective. We love helping customers dial in nutrition and hearing their awesome success stories. I hope you'll give Tailwind a try and share your story with us!" - Jeff, Tailwind founder
