last week Iron girl and fitness magazine put on a presentation with Nutrition and training suggestions for completing your first or fiftieth Triathlon.
They sent over a copy of the PowerPoint presentation and I want to share some of the information with you. I actually have never done a triathlon, but was very close in the past. In college I registered with a female tri-training group, but had to bow out when finals came around ?

by mark Lukach
Audio book review of the best selling memoir released 2017.
Is it a good listen?
I’m sharing a quick review of Camiseta Vissel Kobe the book available on Audible.
From Amazon:
A heart-wrenching yet hopeful memoir Camiseta Crystal Palace FC of a young marriage that is redefined by mental disease and affirms the power of love.
Mark and Giulia’s life together began as a fairy-tale romance. They fell in love at eighteen, got married at twenty-four, and started their dream life in San Francisco soon after. but when Giulia was twenty-seven, she suffered a frightening and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. one day she was dynamic and well adjusted; the next, she was delusional and suicidal, convinced that her loved ones were not safe.
Question:
What book or podcast are you listening to now??

Well, in addition to the training information Iron girl and fitness magazine are sending me two race entries – one for me and one for a friend. I slept on it and chose to opt for it! (In reality I went back and forth “Yes” then “No” for a while before deciding to take a chance.)
This implies in about a month and a half I will be completing my first triathlon in Lake Tahoe, CA! I am frightened and nervous and having second thoughts. But, I feel like I ought to bite the bullet and “tri” it, so I am!
Luckily, my pal Susan agreed to do the race with me. She and I both admit that we don’t know how to ride a bike to save our lives, and essentially do a glorified doggy paddle to swim. We are in trouble. So, I am currently putting together a quick and dirty triathlon training program for us. I’ll post it tomorrow.
Our goal is just to finish. Actually, my goal is to survive. finishing would be good too though.
In even better news, the companies have provided to send one reader and a pal totally free entry to one of the following triathlons:
Racine, WI – July 31st
Boulder, CO – August 28th
Lake Tahoe, CA – September 19th
Plus all this totally free loot:

Are you game?
If so, please leave a comment on this post telling me which “Tri” you’d want to try!
Now for the valuable Tri info…
One of the most essential aspects of triathlon training is brick work outs.
“Brick” = Bricks refer to training for two events during the same workout (ex. swim & bike), with minimal or seamless transition from one to another, just Camiseta SS Lazio as you would do in a race
Mary Christ Anderson from fitness magazine was on the call and had some terrific
Race Day Tips:
• 2-3 hours before your race, eat something with 0.9 grams of carbs per pound of body weight (Ex. a 140-pound woman, that’s 126 grams) • 5 minutes before the race, do four to six 30-second strides bursts. It’s a smart way to warm up your muscles versus doing static stretches before a race but that’s been found to actually decrease the power in muscles • Within 30 minutes of your finish, refuel with chocolate milk. research shows replenishing with protein and easy carbohydrates within 30 minutes after a workout or race is the best way to recover quickly
Chocolate milk after a work out? sign me up!
There are eight Iron girl Triathlon races left this year and three of them area already sold out! If you are thinking about doing a race sign up today as triathlons seem to be all the rage best now.

Now friends, I am ridiculously second guessing my agreement to do a triathlon, so if you are on the fence at all, enter the contest and let fate decide if you ought to do it or not.
Leave a comment and let me know which race you’d do if chosen. I’ll send over your entry and loot!
