A great way to start your training day is a energetic and antioxidant breakfast. For breakfast you need lots of carbs for energy, some essential oils, B and other vitamins (to process that energy), some proteins and it is nice if you can also add a ton of antioxidants.

Well the first major goal of 2007 has come and gone and I can reflect on a challenging time preparing for the race and and even tougher day out on the course. Tides, winds and a little sun all came to play on what was ultimately a very good day out for me.

okay athletes, 1 week to go (or almost anyway). now comes the tricky part.
