All in Breakfast
In preparation for my half ironman last weekend, I did my first ever carb load. This involved eating a huge breakfast the day before the race. My coach wanted me to eat pancakes, eggs, toast…the works.
For the last week or so, I've been in Clermont, Florida training with fellow pro triathlete and mom, Sarah Haskins. We've been putting in some great training hours and some fun baby playing hours - Sarah's six month old and Amy could not be happier together.

The Mix: purely elizabeth Ancient Grain Hot Cereal with carrots, currants, toasted coconut and sliced almonds.

I just plunked down $800 to buy an Ironman pro license and signed up for my first race of 2014: An Ironman 70.3 in February. So, yeah, I’m doing a 180 from not-a-care-in-the-world vacation mode of the last few weeks to I-have-to race-in-44 days panic. Well, it isn’t that extreme, but I do have to start focusing on the work to be done over the next month…and maybe stop eating so much chocolate.
