Part of proper event preparation includes everything ingested on race day. Staying hydrated with enough calories ready to burn is essential to good performance. Many reach for the liquid turbo, the high test, the bitter bean, or even Coke straight up. First Endurance's PreRace replaces all those cross-purposed fluids with an athlete-specific formula that does more than serve as a caffeine delivery system.

Caffeine, 200mg worth, is the basis for the powder. It is a building block upon which Western Civilization got its mojo, went aggressive and industrial. 200mg is approximately two cups of joe or two 20-ounce sodas. PreRace is also heavy on Taurine, to the tune of 3000mg. Taurine, a neuroinhibitory transmitter, is found in Red Bull, and has been shown to reduce muscle damage. Citrulline Malate, in PreRace to the tune of 500mg, has been shown to stimulate nitric oxide, remove toxins, and reduce lactic acid and ammonia.
