Team Vignette's Sponsors
We are deeply indebted to our wonderful sponsors, who make our dreams possible!Title Sponsor: First and foremost is our supremely great Title Sponsor, Vignette. Vignette is a local Austin software company, and they are a leading supplier of e-business applications for building online businesses. Vignette has been amazingly supportive of our team, sponsoring us for Eco-Challenge 2000 as well as several smaller races. We just can't say enough good things about them! Gear Sponsors: Nike Timing has supplied us with excellent altimeter watches, perfect for adventure racing.  Gary Fisher provided us with our most excellent 29" mountain bikes. We believe that they're the best bike available for the adventure racing. Here's a (PDF) explanation of why.  GoLite, is another wonderful gear sponsor for our team. They've helped get us set up with the best adventure race clothing, tents, and sleeping bags available.  SPIZ (Spizerinctum), "a balanced liquid food source", has become a main food staple for our team. Our captain Marcy Beard says, "We discovered SPIZ upon meeting Chet Blanton at the Las Vegas Marathon in 2001. We have used it in hot Texas training and long endurance races. Adventure racing requires that we carry high calorie, low weight food, particularly powders that can be mixed with water. Our bodies need nutritious food for continuous racing, up to 24 hours a day for several days. The addition of antioxidants and amino acids are a step above sports bars. And SPIZ tastes good when the only things that look appetizing are chocolate chip cookies!" Future Sponsors:If you are interested in sponsoring our team, please contact us at kipley@gmail.com |
