I’ve been in Thailand for just over 8 weeks now, and on Wednesday I head back to the US. The time here has really flown by, and I’ll miss the training in Krabi.

Donna,
Way to go on that KONA slot! Yahooo.
After racing IM Brazil on Sunday in Florianopolis, I over-nighted in Sao Paolo last night and head back to the US this evening. With time on my hands and rigor mortis in my legs, I figured it was a good time to write my nutrition/race report.
The r…

Race start was 8am and at 6am I ate the following for breakfast :…

For Ironman races, on the bike I take 1/4 of a liquid shot every 20min, occasionally replacing this with 1/3 of a bar. On the run, I take 1/4 of a LS every 25min, occasionally replacing this with some banana at the aid stations.
For hydration, I us…

The last few days it’s been in the 50’s (or 10 degrees C) in San Diego, and I’ve been freezing my butt off. I came home from swim practice a few days ago, with my teeth chatte… Continue
