When is it enough?
Again … talking about food and training, and food in training and racing…and talking about when the weight is what it should be, not to be too low for your race…? As you can also loose too much weight to miss your performance in your race…
Why do I write this now???
Well, I am in Kona now, 1 week before the race, and I am not racing this year, so just here to help other´s who are racing.
And I hear stories, and I see good people, and some of them just don’t have it right.
Some (and that is very few here…..) have not reached their raceweight, while some has….but has gone to far.
Those that have not reached it, will suffer on the run, and maybe a little more with the heat, some has gone too far, and they will suffer on the bike because of loss of power ( coming from the missing training = because of lack of energy) and maybe on the swim (missing muscle power for the last part of the 3,9 swim + laying lower in the water because of extreme low fat%)
So I want you to think about this, and give you some inspiration to how to look at this area.
Favorite breakfast here in Kona; Papayja with yogurt, granola, chiaseed, and acai powder…All the good stuff you need for your day :-)
And they always can wonder that I can eat so much, and not gaining weight (and look anyway like I do, without being big and fat)… And I can tell them once again; “But the secret is in the food, I just go for the quality”.
