ATHLETICS NEWS:  Rebecca Wardell

"I use Em's Cookies to keep me going during the 2day heptathlon event. They are the most awesome snack, a perfect mix of carbs, protein, fat but even more important they taste incredible and I totally crave them during the comp! They will be fueling me when I compete overseas at the highest level!"

ROCK CLIMBING: Mayan Smith-Gobat www.mayanclimbs.com

MAYAN SAYS:

"In 2002 I made the choice to become a “Rock Climber”. Since then I have dedicated my life to this vertical game, quickly working my way up to the highest level in NZ. I am known as the best female rock-climber in New Zealand and am currently ranked within the top few women climbers in the world.

 

In recent years, I have spent most of my time living on the road in Europe where there are more opportunities to challenge myself and further my climbing skills.

 

At the moment I am training for a trip to Yosemite, California in 2009, where I intend to take my climbing to the next level. I will attempt to free climb a 1000m high wall with very high level of technical difficulty.

 

If I succeed it will be the first free female ascent of this 43-pitch route on El Capitan (the most famous rock face in the world!). For a Kiwi woman to claim this achievement would be ground breaking, both within New Zealand and internationally. I intend to fill my haul-bag with EPC’s and bars, as I believe they will be a vital component in achieving my goal!

 

I like to always have an Em’s Power Cookie (at least one) in my pack while I am out climbing. EPC’s are a great tasty snack, which seem to have the perfect combination of quick sugars and low GI energy to keep me performing at my highest level! I do not like to eat a large meal before, or during my climbing sessions, as it makes me feel “heavy”, but therefore I often end up with low energy levels. EPC’s have helped me with this as they are light, tasty and nutritious.

 

In addition to loving her cookies, I find Em an inspiring person. She does an amazing job of excelling in both, her business and her sport (not an easy task). She shares my passion for life and has a great approach to her business."

THIS CUSTOMER'S ENLIGHTENING LETTER SAYS IT ALL TOO:

Message: Hi there Ems. My name is Gavin. I competed in the hum dinger of a race called the Routeburn Classic, as you did. Firstly well done on doing the Routeburn Race in the weekend, by no means an easy feat. Hope the body is still in good nic? Long story short, I had a bit of time to think about the race on Sat arvo, as I did the double traverse back to the divide. I was the guy in the R&R sport vest going the "wrong way". As I finished I made a v-line for the bbq and the sausage with sauce and onions! I new I still had a bit to go to make it back to the divide. So fatty goodness was a treat at that point. Upon my heading back past the finishing area I noticed a few boxes of your cookies, sitting on and around the table, so I grabbed 3-4 (cookies, not boxes) as I thought they would be a treat across the tops heading back. When packing my race bag in the morning I made a conscious decision to leave my one Em's Power Cookie in the car for my return and to savour its goodness when I got back. Things all went to plan as I made my way back, approaching the 7-8-9 hour mark of the journey I opted to put the cookies to the test, and have only them and water. Fair to say the Leppin, Peak Fuel, and One Square Meal bar all only ended up coming for the ride. The only downside I see in the product was wanting to slow down to a nana walk so I didn't drop any crumbs and savour the taste! But other than that operator error the cookies hit the spot and definitely helped to get me over and down the hills in one bit. Just for the record, around 9hrs 45mins total time to double traverse the track, a cheeky 74odd km. I had heard and read good things, and now I can testify. Well done on a great product.

Cheers, Gavin Mason
