Race Across America cyclist Stefan Schlegel found success using Beneo’s Palatinose as his main carbohydrate energy source.
Functional ingredients supplier BENEO announced that endurance athlete Stefan Schlegel successfully finished the 2014 Race Across America (RAAM). The 37-year old personal trainer from Germany utilized BENEO’s Palatinose™ as his main carbohydrate energy source during the race.
Schlegel finished fifth (Solo, Male Under 50) and completed the race in 10 days, 14 hours and 32 minutes, besting his 2012 finish by an impressive 15 hours. His accomplishment is all the more admirable, considering that he suffered from a bad injury on the race’s first day (due to a punctured tire).
