Description
Andy Blow is the founder and CEO of Precision Hydration. Andy has a degree in Sport and Exercise Science and was once the Team Sports Scientist for the Benetton/Renault F1 teams.

He has a few top 10 Ironman and 70.3 finishes and an Xterra World Age Group title to his name. These days he regularly competes in endurance/adventure events such as the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Series. You can follow Andy on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
