- Tri it out in Essex
Our friend David was out and about this past weekend at a local triathlon—local to him, at least. The Harwich Runners Club Triathlon was in Harwich, Essex (yup, another UK event). With about 312 athletes, competing in the Sprint and Olympic Distance Triathlon, David was out there sharing the Clif Bar love with some curious Euro athletes.
It was a blustery, sunny day—a bit challenging to ride a bike, and fending the chop in the water probably not that much fun either. Nonetheless, an event is an event and a perfect opportunity to help an athlete out who may need a little oomph before race day.
Some nutrition recommendations here and performance advice there, David was able to get those athletes in tip top performance for race day. Heck, Hugh and Harry, two young lads (brothers in fact), spent a good chunk of time hanging out at the booth before they crossed the starting line, sampling all of the flavors to decide which bars to take on their camping trip. The two ended up taking first and second in their age group…coincidentally, or maybe not so much.
Did you happen upon the Essex run? Ever been to Essex? Want to go to Essex? Would love to hear your thoughts. Oh, and a friendly reminder to say hello to our friend David if you do happen to see him sampling bars and Bloks. I venture to say he might appreciate a little howdy.

Thanks very much David, brilliant to see you at our event. Love the bars, can you bring drinks next time too?
Lovely jelly things - thanks and thank for looking after my cups!!
Hope Dave enjoyed the weekend. We certainly enjoyed the bars and blocks.
Hi. I thought the bars were excellent (peanut butter - superb). Watching all those honed athletes competing across 3 disciplines made me so hungry
Thanks for supporting our club event though - much appreciated.
Had to pull out of Harwich due to a cold… so instead I stayed at home and ordered some Cliff bars on Wiggle! They’ve just arrived and the Black cherry almond ones are yum
keep going!
Good company, great product. I break all sorts of federal laws bringing box-loads back with me when I visit the US… now I don’t need to! Thanks for coming to Essex, God’s County
Fantastic to get a sports ‘food’ which is natural. I managed a Cran-Razz shot blok on the bike with no ill effects and that is a first. Thanks for the advice, Dave.
Loved the Bike Shots I tried at Harwich!
I hadn’t had many carbs during the day so a free cliff bar was very welcome, thank you! Oatmeal, Raisin & Walnut was very good. Hope to see you there next year.
Sadly due to a gluten allergy I didn’t get to try the energy bars and it was very frustrating listening to everybody saying how delicious they were. If Dennis gets to go to the South Pole I’ll make sure he has plenty of Clif bars to take with him?
Thanks for supporting the Harwich Runners Triathlon weekend. I think I can speak for everyone at the club to say that a fab time was had by all and the free samples of your fantastic energy bars went down very well. Peanut butter was yummy!!! I think I’m addicted!
First time experience with Clif bar and it was a very good one. Have you drinks as well.
I’ve been a long term fan of the bars (since the mid 90’s), so glad to see them back in the UK.
Still far and away the best on the market. Look forward to seeing the whole range over here…
And thnaks again for the tee and hat
Thank you for letting me try the products at the Harwich Triathlon. It was good to try the Cran and Razz shot block. Nice to have something that looked like a jelly cube which did not contain gelatine as I am a vegetarian as wasn’t too sweet. Will defiantly invest in some in the future for longer runs.
Would have loved to try them but unfortunately when I had finished the sprint tri and really needed it, they had been put away. However when checking the ingredients before I raced it was nice to see that they were suitable for vegetarians.
