Got picked as a Clif ambassador
I just got the email with all the info this afternoon. Has anybody done one of these before? I'm curious how the experience was.
Thanks!

Re: Got picked as a Clif ambassador
On activeambassadors.com. It's probably too late for this round but it's an ongoing thing. I applied about a year ago and just kept it up to date.

Nice! I just emailed in my form. I don't really know what I'm getting into, but it seems fun, and I love me some Clif bars, so I'm happy to talk them up some.

I'm just wrapping up my Wheaties FUEL ambassadorship.
Pros: free apparel, contests (I won $50 for sending in a photo of me with two other team members at an event together)
Cons: SO MUCH PRODUCT. I love Wheaties FUEL and I eat it every morning for breakfast, but they sent us so much of it, in such quick succession, it got ridiculous. (They started our team late though, in August, so maybe we got a year's worth of product in 6 months?) It's been really difficult to distribute so much product -- at many races, it's simply not practical or even possible to transport several large 40-lb boxes of product to the finish area to get set up. Also, much of the product they sent us expired in Dec or Feb. I'd be surprised if every team member had everything distributed before the exp date! (Not that the cereal is bad now... I'm still eating it... but I hate to pass out something that's past the date.)
Overall it's been fun, but I don't know if I'll do it again. (Probably depends what the team/product is.) The amount of product and the rate at which they kept sending it was a hassle.

Congrats to both of you!
I just started my second year on Team MARATHON Bars. I got some "incentive money" for being on the local news in uniform and winning a couple of the monthly contests. Not a lot of $, but enough to off set a few big race entry fees. I've also become friends with a lot of local members on Active Ambassador teams. It's a great experience. You'll have fun!
