Let the Races Begin!

Today was the first race for our Beginner Tri Group that are gearing up for the Rev3 Oly in May. For most of our athletes, this was their very first race, and they killed it!! They rode outside for the first time this year, they clipped in, they flip turned, and they SMILED!! It was awesome!!

The racing season is right around the corner and it makes me so pumped just thinking about it!! People were out riding, running hard, maybe swimming but I wouldn't know because I haven't been to the pool it a few weeks (sound familiar).

As for me, I'm gearing up for triple crown, mini, Rev3 Oly, Kansas 70.3. That's gets me to June, we'll see how things go from there. But if I have any sort of expectations I better get my bum into some chlorine!!! Goal for the week: swim!

As for the lenten season, I have had no cereal to date... and I'm starting to get the shakes! Going gluten free has really helped me to keep everything under control. I would normally quit cereal but start scarfing down boxes of wheat thins or pretzels or whatever else I can get my hands on. Gluten free is tough, but I feel so much better on it! I eat lots of fruits, veggies, stir frys, yogurt, and lara bars. The forum on team.firstendurance.com has a ton of great suggestions as well. Time to shape up for the season.

Hope you're enjoying the heat wave, congrats to all tri finishers!!! Train on :-)

Ahh...cereal is a huge weakness for me...I've pretty much had to give it up completely. Good luck!

I guess I shouldn't tell you they make gluten free cereal then? It's pretty good stuff.

I love cereal.
