PureSport™ Recovery


PureSport Recovery helps your body get into the recovery zone quickly and bounce back after serious physical activity. PureSport Recovery promotes recovery after exercise by accelerating the replacement and storage of muscle fuel. The added protein reduces muscle damage and induces muscle repair. Supplying electrolytes and lost fluids rehydrates and prepares you to get back out there so you can train hard day after day.


PureSport Recovery's formula surpasses other sports recovery drinks. Taken within 15 minutes after exercising, the protein and carbohydrate mix advances muscle recovery and increases fuel storage greater than carbohydrate alone. PureSport Recovery's energy restoring blend of carbohydrates, rather than just one type, works quicker and better overall to help you recover and reload. The PureSport Recovery system gives you the edge with faster training adaptation.

Firethorne Youth Trains for National Junior Cycling Championships

Katy Texas News – Posted May 9, 2008

13-year-old Firethorne resident Madeleine McDuff is training for her first-ever national junior cycling competition this summer. The seventh grader, founder and president of the Beckendorff Junior High School Cycling Club, practices three to four times a week for up to 100 miles. She works with her trainer, former National Cycling Champion and U.S. Team Member Garth Blackburn (of Sugar Land), rides with the Katy-based Team Spincycle, an adult team that pedals 30 miles every Sunday morning, and cross-trains during the off-season at Firethorne to gear up for the USA Cycling Junior National Track Championships this August at the ADT Event Center in Carson, CA.

The Katy native was introduced to cycling at age 9 by her godfather. Then, at the beginning of the 2007-08 school year, Madeleine had the idea to start a cycling club at her junior high school. Not only did she recruit history teacher Rainey Richardson as the sponsor, but she recruited Richardson’s two daughters, Ragan and Kate, to join as well. 

While the Team Beckendorff Cycling Club works out at the Alkek Velodrome during racing season, the members needed a place to cross train during the off-season. She contacted Firethorne General Manager Wayne Meyer about using an area near the lacrosse field in her neighborhood for team exercises on Tuesday evenings.

Madeleine, who proudly boasts a U.S.A. cycling license, turned 13 last month. She will compete in the 13-14 year age group at the junior nationals on her Atherton bike, proudly wearing her jersey emblazoned with the Team Spincycle logo. Her ultimate goal: to train for the Olympics.

I have to tell you that being a cyclist takes a lot of support, not only family but friends and sponsors. It's hard for junior's as this is an expensive sport because we are always growing out of bikes, equipment and clothing...oh yeah, and shoes! 


I want to thank all my sponsors and supporters, family and friends. Without you, all this wouldn't have been possible. Okay, perhaps possible but a lot harder!
