MOUNTAIN BIKER - HAMMERING SINCE: 1996
Hi, I am Wendy Skean. I started riding mountain bikes and racing at age 45 when I was a single mother and had two teenage sons I wanted to be active with. As I was training for my first, of 8, Leadville 100 races in 1996, my son told me about Hammer Nutrition. I had trouble eating solid food when racing, so Hammer's Sustained Energy was really what I needed. I also used E-Caps. From then on, I used Hammer Nutrition Products for all rides and races. I have continued to race all manner of endurance races. I raced for 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo 14
times, solo, always on the podium. I raced the Breck Epic Stage race twice, was the oldest racer, and was on the podium. At age 78 I became the US National Time Trial Record holder for ages 75-79. I repeated that in 2024 and became the US National Time Trial record holder for ages 80-84. At age 79 I started racing gravel bikes with the goal of going to Belgium to race in the UCI Gravel World Championships. At age 80 I achieved my goal and became a UCI Gravel World Champion. It was a dream come true and standing on the podium listening to the national anthem playing was very emotional.
Without Hammer Nutrition's numerous products, I know I would not be able to be racing at the level that I am. I use their products that keep my bones strong, my body healthy, and my riding and racing strong. It is hard to say what products are my favorites because I value all of them. I am still using Sustained Energy along with Heed. I always have Recoverite after a workout or race. Other must-use are, Race Caps Supreme, Mito Caps, Premium Insurance Caps, Anti-Fatigue, Endurance BCAA+, and Seat Saver.
Since I am usually the oldest female racer at any event I go to, I a proud to wear my Hammer Kit and show that Hammer keeps you going at any age.
