Striderm News From 2008

December 2008: Seasons Greetings from Striderm to all its resellers and customers. We hope that you enjoy an active 2009.   

We are pleased to annonced that, at the end of 2008, the number of resellers of Striderm products has continued to grow. During the past two months we welcomed our latest resellers on board, Shortis Cycle & Tri, Wharf Street Tweed Heads, See Me Run, and Sportsco Toombul.

November 2008: The triathlon season is now well and truly with us. Striderm is proud to announce that they are once again pleased to be associated with the Bribie Island Triathlon Series as a Personal Care Product Sponsor.  This series, organised by The Run Inn Promotions, provides great events for both beginners and well-performed triathletes.

Geoff took his first 'competitive' step in a triathlon by completing the 10k run leg as part of a team in the famous Noosa Triathlon. He enjoyed the 'heat of the moment', as well as the great atmosphere.  Geoff explains: "Out on a course I've never run under so many hoses, or done so many high fives!"

September 2008: Striderm enjoyed a successful Gold Coast Marathon, courtesy of The Run Inn, and our other resellers Aqua Shop and Allez Sports. We were able to introduce our products personally to many active bodies. Geoff participated in the full marathon.

Geoff had a run in the Noosa Half Marathon, which took place on 24th August. The big city marathons (Sydney, Melbourne) are just around the corner. We encouage participants to plan their person care for these events to minimise the discomfort caused by chafing (Striderm's Anti Chafe Extreme, or Anti Chafe Lotion), and by skin exposed to the elements (Striderm's Skin Survival Cream, Body Butter, or Lip Balm).

We welcome the Intraining Running Centre, Park Road, Milton and Sydney Sports Med, Young Street, Sydney, on board as our newest resellers. We are sure that they look forward to your support, so get along to them and buy your Striderm Anti Chafe Extreme.

June 2008: The Queensland Half Marathon took place at Doomben on 1st June, and Striderm was pleased to take part as a product sponsor and to be present at the associated Leisure Expo. It was great to meet and talk with so many competitors. Congratulations must go to all the competitors, and we trust that all who participated achieved their expected level of performance.

The Gold Coast Marathon (6th July) is now just around the corner and much of the hard work has been/is being done.  Competitors are now finalising plans for the day itself. So, don't foget in your planning to include your Striderm Anti Chafe product, and/or your Skin Survival Cream for that cool morning air. We look forward to meeting many competitors at the event Expo. 

April 2008: This month Stridem released its first new product since the launch of its range of products for the skin of active people - Skin Survival Cream. We listened to feeback from the running, cycling and triathalon community to provide a moisturising product in more user friendly packaging.  It is an ideal product for use as under cycle nicks, and other sporting equipment in those areas subject to rubbing. It is ideal for the person looking for a natural product (no silicones or mineral oils) for use as an antichafe.  It is also a fantastic moisturising preparation to use before or after activity. Its rich ingredients will help to protect and/or soothe skin exposed to the elements. The product is available now from Active Stride and The Run Inn. It replaces Striderm Body Butter, which is still available online at a special price!

The Brisbane Marathon Festival (18-20 April) has come and gone, and by all reports this InTraining organised event, was a great success. Geoff took the opportunity to have his first 'competitive' outing since last year's Bridge-to-Brisbane. It was great to catch up with some old and new faces at  Brisbane's Southbank.

March 2008: The 2008 Gold Coast Marathon season is on the horizon - have you planned your skin protection strategy yet? As we know, the 2008 Mooloolaba Triathalon is now history.  Many athletes of all abilities are now turning their attention to selecting their event and corresponding training program for the 2008 Gold Coast Marathon. Many feet are starting to pound out the necessary kilometers. The local lead-up events are about to commence starting with the Brisbane Marathon Festival (Southbank, April), and the Queensland Half Marathon (Doomben, June).  Striderm is pleased to announce that they will once again be associated with the Queensland Half Marathon. We look forward to meeting you there!

Athletes thoughts are also turning to their equipment - shoes, specialist sports apparel, nutritional supplements and so on.  In many cases, runners need other products to make their exercise habit more enoyable, particularly for their skin. The Striderm range of personal care products can have you covered - Anti Chafe Extreme for those endurance events, Anti Chafe Lotion for those shorter events, moisturising Body Butter for element exposed skin, Lip Balm with SPF15 sun protection for the lips, and Sports Massage Lotion for that special massage.
