Tracy, I totally agree! 

I have been using one scoop of whey protein in my oatmeal...it's supposed to be 17g of protein which really staves off the hunger and gives you lots of energy until your next meal.   It's supposed to be tasteless, but the one I got has a sort of vanilla flavor which is great!  I shake it up with a little rice dream first so it doesn't chunk up in the hot oatmeal, but highly recommend it especially before long workouts.  (which reminds me, i forgot to bring it with me for my pre-race breakfast, and was bummed)

Our varied terrain and dramatic scenery should take care of that for you!

Can you see any corn?

How about now? 

dalessit - 2010-07-22 2:37 PM Thanks for all that rain Suzy. Poured the whole way through Wisconsin.Wisconsin dells does look like a fun place.We're just about to enter Indiana now. Sam is driving for a bit. I am bored...

I like that idea.  I have a big jug of vanilla whey protein at home that I've stopped since I started Hammer Recoverite.  I've been toying with the idea of bringing it, and a gallon of milk, into work.    Thanks.

This is my all time favorite whey protein....bourbon vanilla is so smooth it is like drinking a milkshake. I take a scoop every night before I go to bed, 60 cals...YUMMY!

Label says 1 scoop = 120 calories? Looks yummy, though!

One of my new fave high-protein snacks is Trader Joes' Greek Vanilla fat-free yogurt. Soooooo delish. It's like eating dessert. A few spoonfuls fills me up for awhile!

Might be a little late, but if you guys are driving down I-65 you'll go right past me. I'll PM you my number.

Today, I got to work as crowd control for Marlee Matlin signing.  The coolest thing was, I didn't have a camera or anything, so I asked her if she could sign my shirt and she was more than happy to do that. It was the second time I met her, so that was cool.

Other than that...I've learned a lot about being patient quickly because of all the strange requests and many different questions etc etc. What a PIA - AND on top of that, some of the deaf people are from different countries so I had to sign differently or use a different "slang" language in hopes to communicate with them.  

It was definitely an interesting experience, and pretty tricky to do with my tri training!

So we went for a long swim tonight. Got lost and ended up with a 3.5 K swim. I know you ask how do you get lost in a lake in Guelph Ontario. Well you just swim right past the turn around point and keep going. We ended up circling where we were supposed to go(thought it was and island but wasn't and ended up having to walk over a small road and back into the lake and then swim the last 1k back to our start point. Long swim, everyone liked it in the end but I don't think they will let me lead again next week.

gdctex - 2010-07-23 9:22 AM Training question:

My next tri is Bridgeland on August 8.  The plan I am on now has a recovery week next week, then a full week with increased volume the week before the tri.  I am trying to decide if I should just follow the plan as is or should I switch the weeks around so the recovery week would be the week for the tri so to treat it like a taper week.

It is a sprint tri.  I am looking at it as more of a 'training' race since my real focus is to be ready for the Houston tri which is an Oly in late September.  So, I am thinking I will just follow the plan as is.  

Anyone have an opinion or advice either way?

Well you made up for it with a double post....

fattyfatfat - 2010-07-23 11:28 AM awesome story rob.  potential clients for your new business... lie and say it was the plan all along.  pat em' on the back and say great job.

glen i agree with george. i'd also take a look at what you have the day or two following bridgelands.  if you have a big workout planned then i'd try and switch it with a lighter workout later in the week. 

good stuff doug.  hopefully i'll get the rundown next week. then have him run me into the ground on the chattahoochee trail.  unless he claims to be "busy" with his girlfriend.
