I have a tri suit (see my pic). It was easy, has pockets in the back for some Gu packs. The only bad part.......taking it off and finding green slime from the lake (nasty).

If I am feeling a bit light headed, like hypoglycemia, I will eat a Zone Perfect bar (nice amount of protein), or an apple with peanut butter. You might want to consider something like greek yogurt with whey protein powder added. Has a nice balance of everything, and you can really bulk up on protein. I guess I should ask,…

I run inside mostly to reduce the impact on my knee (injured in high school). I try to switch it up, with intervals of running at different speeds and different lengths of time, and will also do intervals at really high inclines. Listen to great music while watching TV. I also do intervals between the bike and the…

My two favorite breakfasts are: 1) Morningstar farms spicy bean burger, cut up and mixed into 1 egg and 1/2 cup egg whites. Top with homemade salsa. 2) steel cut oats, 1/2 cup egg whites, craisins, flaxseed (ground), cinnamon on top.

OMG....Power Rangers "The Movie".........Ivan Ooze.....memorized every word because my son watched it so many times! After that, I needed a drink!

It is sad and in a way, repulsive. Sorry, but many of us eat for emotional reasons, it is comforting. This is beyond that, and is repulsive. And her family is enabling her. Another sad part......because of people like this, the rest of us pay higher health care costs. And what she ate in a day could feed FAMILIES.

Go to TriSwimCoach.com. This guy trains triathletes, and he too recommends that you do not turn your head, but train yourself to rotate your body when you breathe. This actually helps with forward motion, use of upper body, and preservation of the lower body for the remainder of the tri. Body rotation is actually what Mark…

My plan is to continue to train in all three disciplines. I want to swim twice a week, and work on my form, drills to improve endurance and speed, etc. I actually purchased a training guide for triathlon swimming to help me start. Will look into master's swim in the spring and start doing open water swims at that time.…

A compliment doesn't have to be creepy at all. Your example of the target check out line, you could say "Miss, your perfume is very pleasing, I would love to know what it is for my *girlfriend/wife/significant other*." It would compliment her taste in perfume, and yet show in a very polite way it was only meant as a…

10/28 swim 0.75 miles Felt terrible, like my blood sugar plummeted. I usually swim early afternoon, this was evening, after little sleep after an overnight. Not good.

No, and I believe it is better to eat more lean protein! As long as you don't consume more than 30 to 40 grams of protein per serving, which I believe is the most your body will process each time, you are good! :)

LOVE the pics, man! I was outside enjoying one of the last nice Iowa fall days. Digging fence posts for the garden fence, being a pyromaniac (and doing it illegally, without the police and fire dept showing up this time!). Nice day.........
