Well I can only fill on square a day but filled mine  for today

Was so very excited to get to the gym, I think I even did my brink

happy training in this new year everyone

Happy New Year everyone!

I went out for a run to start the new year. Not my best. I feel that running has really become my weakness, like I sold my running soul to the swimming devil. I keep wondering when I'll get my run back!

Great job, Sarah!  How is your knee?

Good for you, Steve!  Take your lady out and treat her really good so she won't mind when you go off for your loooooong training sessions!

It'll come back.

Good job, Amy!  Just stick to your plan!

Can't wait to see the photos! What are you going to do to get back at your friends? 

YUMMY RECIPIE!

Mock Hollandaise Sauce

1/4 Cup fat free sour cream

1/4 Cup fat free mayonaise

1 teaspoon (or so) lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon (or so) prepared mustard

Milk (optional)

In a small saucepan, combine sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, and mustard.  Cook and stir over medium-low heat until hot.  Thin with a little milk if desired.

I served this over steamed asparagus but it would be yummy on broccoli, cauliflower, or chicken.

This is a much lower fat/calorie alternative to a cheese sauce and much easier to prepare than real hollandaise sauce.

Enjoy!

Your races were AWESOME!!!!!  Loved the pictures, too!

You know.....you can add your race distances and times to your log after you have completed a race report.  To do this:

Click "races" at the top of the screen

Click "go to your race log"

Find "copy race data to training log"

Find your race in the drop down list, select it and then click "copy"

Thanks for this info; I've been doing it manually. 

Since I started triathlon training back at the end of 2006 I've gained something like 10 pounds. Some of it might be attributed to an increase in muscle mass but I doubt it all is. I have a tendency to snack, but I eat pretty well.  Still, I can't seem to lose any weight. I'm 5'5" and about 158#, with a body fat constitution of about 25%, so I think there's room for healthy weight loss. I'd really like to lose about 10 pounds.

My biggest issues directly related to exercise, training, and racing are past problems with leg cramping following long, strenuous bike rides and triathlon runs and concerns about proper calorie intake during rides and triathlons.

Regarding nutrition, I'd like to know why I can't eat five Crunchy Tacos from Taco Bell then go swim half a mile without feeling nauseas.

Seriously though, I'd like to learn a little more about science of nutrition. When and what to eat before a race, what to eat after a race, what to eat during a race, etc. Right now I live off Gu during a race along with water.

Has anyone tried the drink FRS?

On an interesting note, I run with the Nike + system and it tells me how many calories I burn during a run. I came home after a short 3 mile run to find my 13 year old daughter and her friends complaining about being "fat" (neither of them are)  while scarfing down Pop Tarts. I looked at the box and found out 1 Pop Tart has 200 calories, about what I burn in a mile run (according to Nike +). When I told them how far they had to run to burn off that Pop Tart, they stopped eating them.

Good morning

Last night I was letting my  friend read our post he said I need to make it clear to you all that English is not my primary language. I guess some of my post are not written in the way it would be if it was. English is in fact my 3 or 4 language. so please if I write something and you don't know what I said Ask me to repeat it, I will get some help and repost it.  I read fine  and speak great it the damn write.

Just had  my started my 3 work still very excited about this whole process

It was pretty obvious to me that English is not your first language.  However, I've been able to understand everything. No problems

So, what is your first language?
