The nutritional power of U.S. potatoes was introduced to nearly 1,600 elite international athletes at the Ironman 70.3 competition in Costa Rica on June 24th. In fact, the featured U.S. Potato Energy Bites were a highly sought-after snack where many athletes came to the Potatoes USA booth asking if this is where they could find the “bring me back to life snack”!
After completing the 70.3-mile course, the athletes visited the nourishment center where Potatoes USA sampled U.S. Potato Energy Bites and distributed recipe cards. Visitors to the booth refueled with potatoes while they learned how potatoes can help fuel their performance.
