ZenTri 598 - Christine Lynch and Time Trial Tips

Holistic health guru Christine Lynch joins us to talk about what to eat before and during races.  We also talk about salt!  Then I take you with me on how to improve your bike using weekly time trials.

 Alright, time for some photos!  Here's some of the gang getting ready for the local time trials.  

This is when everybody gives their reasons about how they won't do well.  Sore legs and feeling under the weather top the list.  But when the gun goes off, it's ON!

Here's a good example of how I've cut back on the sugary stuff for training.

The full bottle (yellow one in front) would be how much I usually ate during a two-hour run.  The part missing is how much I actually used on a recent run.  I'm currently floating around 140 cals per hour, but I really don't even need that.  I could easily go on zero, but training with no fuel for longer stuff can lead to other problems.  Nice improvement!

We need to include a pic of my running buddy, Kona.  He's not interested in sugar, unless it's meat flavored.

(Did somebody say meaty snacks?)

I went in for blood test so we can start working on what matters most...

Chris at NurishBalanceThrive will be on soon to analyze my results with me on a show.  Just looking over the results myself, I have a major vitamin D deficiency.  Most people do.  Bummer!

Fatigue, insomnia, hormonal or digestive problems? Is your training and lifestyle suffering? As an athlete, you know your body’s health and balance is crucial. But when things go wrong, mainstream healthcare doesn't serve your unique needs. That’s why Christopher Kelly developed a science-based, personalized support program to help you regain your optimal performance. It’s called Nourish Balance Thrive – the wellness solution created for athletes, by athletes.

Finally, I thought I'd include this picture of me at the starting line of a fun run in Kingwood, TX back in 1982.

I'm the kid in the black and white checkered shirt on the far left.  I got fourth in the kids age group and was so mad that I didn't get up on the podium!  It was funny when I realized that race is the one that started it all.  #Driven!

Next show is an interview with pro triathlete Mike Hermanson.  Stay tuned!
