Not a gel. Not an energy drink. Just a small bottle that fits in your bento box or tri suit pocket and helps you stay sharp when you're deep into the marathon and everything hurts.

Drizz. Sip. Split.

01

Pick your drink

Water, your electrolyte mix, whatever's in your aero bottle or BTA. This caffeine for triathlon blends into any drink with minimal taste — no thick gel texture to gag on at mile 80 of the bike.

02

Add a quick squeeze

Half a squeeze for steady focus. One squeeze for when you need to close a gap. Two for the back half of an Ironman marathon when the wheels are coming off. You control the dose — your gut will thank you.

03

Get back to racing

Minimal taste. No crash. No GI distress. Just smooth energy for triathletes that lasts through the run when your stomach is already compromised and you need your brain to override your legs.

Find your level: The smartest caffeine strategy for triathlon racing.

  • ½ squeeze (~30mg) — calm focus for easy long runs
  • 1 squeeze (~65mg) — solid lift for the second half of the bike or start of the run
  • 2 squeezes (~130mg) — late-race push when you're fighting the Ironman shuffle

Same caffeine as espresso. Smoother because of L-theanine. Research shows 3-6mg/kg of caffeine improves endurance performance by 2-4%. One squeeze = 65mg — perfect for strategic dosing across swim, bike, and run without overwhelming your already-stressed gut.

Traditional triathlon nutrition is a GI gamble.

Here's the truth: 30-90% of triathletes experience GI distress during racing. Your stomach gets less blood flow during exercise. Gels are concentrated sugar bombs that sit in your gut. And by the time you hit the run, your digestive system is already compromised from hours of effort.
Too concentrated: Gels require water to digest — without it, they cause cramping, bloating, and worse
Too unpredictable: Aid station nutrition is a mystery — wrong product = race over
Too much, too fast: Caffeinated gels dump 25-100mg at once when your gut can't handle it
We built the opposite: controlled caffeine for triathlon that disappears into whatever you're already drinking. A true triathlon gel alternative that won't spike your blood sugar or wreck your run split. Add it to your existing hydration strategy — no new variables, no GI surprises.

What's inside: Clean energy for triathletes, backed by science.

Designed for steady focus, calm reactions, and less mental fatigue across all three disciplines. This natural energy for endurance athletes combines three proven ingredients:
  • Caffeine (65mg per serving)
    The same amount as a shot of espresso — proven to improve endurance performance by 2-4% and reduce perceived exertion. Research shows caffeine helps triathletes push harder while feeling like they're working less. Strategic timing (second half of bike, start of run) maximizes the benefit.
  • L-Theanine
    Found naturally in tea. Takes the edge off caffeine without dulling alertness. The result: focused energy for triathlon without the jitters that wreck your aero position or running form. Studies show it improves reaction accuracy — crucial for technical descents and crowded aid stations.
  • Taurine
    Supports endurance and mental function when you're 10 hours deep into an Ironman. Helps with recovery between disciplines and reduces the mental fog that hits during the marathon when glycogen is gone and willpower is all you have left.
Why this combo works:
Human clinical studies show that combining L-theanine with moderate caffeine supports attention, reaction accuracy, and subjective alertness during demanding tasks, often with less mental fatigue than caffeine alone. In practical terms: steadier focus, fewer pacing errors, and cleaner decisions when things get hard late in the race. Based on published research on caffeine and L-theanine. Not evaluated by the FDA.

Get Drizz — $14.99
Drizz is built for triathletes who've learned the hard way that nutrition is the fourth discipline — and GI distress is the race-ending enemy.

Sharp, not wired. Fast, not reckless.

Zero GI Distress
No concentrated sugar. No thick texture. No osmolality issues. Drizz dissolves instantly into whatever you're already drinking — your gut never knows it's there. When 30-90% of triathletes experience GI problems, being in the other group is a competitive advantage.
Calm Focus
L-theanine smooths out caffeine's spiky edges. No jitters in the aero bars. No anxiety at the swim start. No crash on the run. Just clear thinking when you're pacing, navigating aid stations, or deciding whether to push or hold steady.
Works With Any System
Add to your aero bottle, BTA hydration, or handheld. Mix with Maurten, Precision, Skratch, or whatever's in your special needs bag. Drizz doesn't compete with your carb strategy — it complements it. One less variable on race day.
Everyone responds differently. Start small and find your dose.

"I've DNF'd twice because of GI issues on the run. Switched from caffeinated gels to Drizz and finished my last three 70.3s without a single stomach problem. I add it to my Precision bottles on the bike and my handheld for the run. Game changer for anyone who's ever had their race ruined by their gut."

Got questions? We got you.

One full squeeze = 65mg caffeine — about the same as a shot of espresso or small coffee. Half a squeeze = ~30mg. Research suggests 3-6mg/kg bodyweight is optimal for endurance performance. For a 150lb runner, that's 200-400mg over the course of a marathon — easily managed with 3-6 squeezes spread across 26.2 miles.
We formulated it to be as neutral as possible. There's a slight sweetness that most athletes don't notice once mixed with their electrolyte drink or plain water. It works great in Maurten, Precision, Skratch, Tailwind — whatever system you're already using.
Gels are concentrated sugar solutions that require water to digest. Without enough water, they sit in your stomach and cause GI distress — bloating, cramping, nausea, worse. Drizz has zero sugar and dissolves instantly into whatever you're already drinking. No additional water required, no osmolality issues, no GI gamble.
15 full servings per bottle. At $14.99, that's about $1 per energized drink — way cheaper than gels ($2-3 each) and without the sticky wrappers. If you're using half-squeezes, you'll get 30 uses per bottle.
Caffeine takes 45-60 minutes to peak in your bloodstream. For a 70.3: consider half squeeze pre-race (peaks during bike), full squeeze at hour 3-4 of bike (peaks for run). For Ironman: pre-race dose, bike doses every 2-3 hours, T2 dose for the marathon. Always test your strategy in training brick sessions — never on race day.

Don't overthink it.

15 servings. Zero sugar. Zero GI distress. The triathlon energy solution for athletes who've learned that what works in training doesn't always work when your gut is 10 hours into race effort.
