Subject: Hello from SLC! Please help the new guy.
Hello everyone. I am new to triathlons, but experienced in road cycling and distance running. My wife and I are training together to complete our first triathlon this spring.

Anyone know any good links online for:
Good foods while training (foods that you could build a shopping list for the grocery store from)

Clothing for swimming in cold resevoirs and ocean waters (I am afraid I don't own a speedo...yet...and even if I did, cold water would not be it's testing grounds!)

Looking forward to learning from all of you pros!

Thanks,
Jason

Welcome to BT!  I don't know of nutrition links...there must be though!

As far as swimming, have you thought about a triathlon wetsuit?  Sounds like it might be necessary if you are swimming in cold open water. 

good luck!

Thank you!

I wasn't sure if they were just called "triathlon wetsuits."

    You can find "good food" recipes at http://www.allrecipes.com  You can make a grocery list on this site and it is free.  It is a general recipe site, not specifically for training.  But I am sure you can find something there.  You can also look for cheap wetsuits at http://www.tribonzai.com  You can get a tri wetsuit there for $100 if they have your size.

    HI Jason,

    Welcome to the site and good luck to the both of you... i'm sorry I don't know of any good sites for nutrition. Check out the smoothie section of the forums, there's probably good disscussions going on right now about this.

    Welcome and keep us posted!
