Race Day Fueling

Good Morning Cliff. As a triathlete that also has to be careful what I eat on race day, I have struggled with this. What do you use for longer races, like 3 1/2 to 4 hours? If you read my post last year on the KTown Tri, I note that gels are only easily [...]

All Crap

So here’s a story for you.  I wouldn’t have shared this except this scenario happened to me twice, in the same store, in the same place, and almost at the same time.

Last Sunday I was at Bushtakah’s discount sale on the hunt for gels.  I ran out so I wanted to take full [...]

Salmon Recipes

You hear it all the time, are you getting enough Omegas in your diet?  Are you eating enough fish?  Well I can safely say that I’m not.  I know fish is good for you but I’ve been having a hard time getting it in.  This is truley frowned upon since I am from the [...]

training trips: back from Va

I just returned from sunny Wintergreen, Virginia, soaking up the rays and doing some cycling. Because there were so many things I could talk about, I got some people to send me questions asking about the trips particulars.

what was the format (was it planned or wung)?

- we had a [...]

Subway Meat

Had a thought last night while a Subway commercial came on during the hockey game: where does Subway’s meat come from?  Back in the day, like 2000, when Subway wasn’t on every corner, the food seemed more fresh.  Now with the ever growing fast food price competition it seems that the once healthy option [...]

Trips'

I’m not as lucky as my brother who is gallivanting Virginia’s mountains. If you have time, check him out on Facebook (or here) if you’re wondering what the terrain looks like.

Trips’ = What I call triple workout days.

So I had back to back trips’ concluding today. Lots of swim, bike and [...]

Weekend Eating Plan

Currently my focus has been on eating.  What to eat.  When to eat.  Even where to eat.  Since nutrition plays an important  role in my training, I figure it deserves the attention.

On tap this weekend was a lot of exercise!  It was frequent and mostly intense.  Heres how I handled it.

Saturday

Book Review: Racing Weight

Finished Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald last week.  Picked it up in California so I’m not sure if it is available in Canada yet.

The book is about how to eat (no kidding) for a better performance.  Fitzgeralds writing style is a bit wordy but I think anyone could get into it.  That [...]

MORE food for thought

In case you are trying to make “good choices” and find yourself heading toward the words “organic”, beware! Appearances CAN be deceiving:

MYTH: Organic companies are small and environmentally friendly.

Find out where your food comes from. You’ll be surprised. If you think that tiny little organic food company has a halo over [...]

Nutrition - Do you care?

 

You are what you eat.   So you eat ham, are you a pig?

I eat mostly healthy.  Like you eat veggies with gravy?

I don’t have time to make supper.  But you have time to watch 2 hours of tv?

I hate cooking.  Is turning on a stove that complicated?

Food is such [...]
