This is Coffee with Larry, your favorite podcast, for Monday, August 5, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is being sponsored by OMIUS.IO , our cooling technology partner. #StayCool!
1. www.Omius.io has developed an accessible cooling technology using cooling cubes, placed in the visor of a hat, visor and headbands. Check out the website and see your options on keeping yourself cool during tough workouts and races!
2. Daniel Pintardo, Ecuador, the 20k Olympic champion, wore the headband in his gold medal winning race thru Paris on August 1, 2024.
3. The Technology is pretty cool. Place the cooling cubes in your hat or visor, wet them down and workout or race. The team at www.Omius.io tell us to wet the cubes down every 30-45 minutes, and as long as you keep moving, your www.Omius.io hat will keep you cool! I have tried it and it works! #StayCool!
