TahoeDirtGirl - good point! that is the golden rule - NEVER EVER try anything new on race day. I have a friend who tried a new energy gel on an adventure race. turns out it had caffeine. Caffeine gives him the runs. and he was doing a 36 adventure race - team mates NOT happy about that


This morning i ate (around 9 ish):
1 poached egg
1 Yves veg sausage
1 piece of organic sprouted bread (not sure the brand)
1 piece of multigrain by weight watchers
about 1/2 cup fruit made up of mango, grapes, nectarine and blue berry
and coffee probably too much...

10:30 i "topped up" with 1/3 cup of yogurt with a teaspoon of peanut butter and jam, and a dried apricot.

we were riding by 11:45 (ok it was a slow start to the day ). It was 3 hour mtb ride today.

about 1:15 into the ride, i had my banana. about 2:15 into the ride, i had half a bar (its a Shoppers drug mart, Life brand bar, i liked them because they are 193 cals, with 22 g of carbs, and 14 grams of protein - most bars dont have enough protein for me).

I felt great today.

Hubby ate granola bars -2 i think. we started with same breakfast, but he didn't have a snack before going out. I know when i eat the granola bars, i tend to eat more of them.

anyway thats me...
