Nutrition, Dietary Transitions and Observations

I don't have anything to write a long blog about, but I want to stay in practice so I'll write about a few little things. Most of my time lately has been spent either at work (because we've had some really big things going on at the Zoo), logging miles and/or soul searching.

As an athlete, I'm always looking for that one thing that will make me better - whether that means faster or stronger or more durable (always a plus for someone known as the Disaster Magnet). The most recent thing I'm in the middle of is changing my nutrition both in and out of training and racing.

Do Things Happen for a Reason?

What do you do on a weekend that you were originally supposed to be racing but had to bail on because of injury? Usually I would have lamented and worried and fretted the entire weekend. But fortunately, THIS weekend was one that I should have originally stayed home for anyway. When I originally registered for the Mooseman 70.3, I was unaware of the awesome things I would miss if I left town this weekend. But thanks to a fractured rib, I was able to take part in them.

Injury Re-report: Broke

After a few days of severe discomfort, no relief from Motrin, and sleepless nights, I saw my orthopedic doctor today only to find out that I DID break something in my bike crash: ribs. Tomorrow we will find out how bad and how many. Until they heal, I must avoid sneezing - which I recently found out is excruciating, coughing, hiccuping, and, worst of all, laughing. And the only reason I'm not crying right now is to avoid pain.
