Training to race my first Ironman this fall and I'm trying to figure out how to carry food for the bike without having to load a bento box or stuff a jersey in transition. anybody have some good recommendations for carrying food other than these two?

Has anyone tried these? likes or dislikes? Thank you for your input :) Maks www.tribug.com

Hey, so I just put in my annual first (yes, every year there is a first which is fallowed by many more) Hammer Nutrition order. Firstly I was wondering what brands you people supplement, and what products you use.

I just started tracking activities and keeping a food diary on Fitday.com. Pretty consistently, I'm coming up about 500 calories short each day of what they say I'm burning. I don't feel like I'm undereating, I'm not hungry all day or anything. If I get hungry, I get a snack like yogurt with berries or something, I try to eat good whole foods, lots of fruits and veggies, protein, etc.. Blue Skies, -Robin- http://ironmom.blogspot.com/

Low energy is simply not an option for an Endurance Athlete!

Here is a quick look at the top 10 foods every endurance athlete should have on their shopping list.

I have been competing in triathlons for two years now -- mostly sprint distance events, and a few olympic. My typical training week consists of 1-3 miles of swimming, 30-70 miles on the bike, and 10-15 running. This combined with the other facets of my life, not the least of which is my two-year-old son, have me now feeling pretty worn out. J

Hey, that must have supplement thread turned me onto flax seeds. Someone was talking about flax seed pills and I thought "why not just eat the seeds?" I went to my local hippies-r-us and picked up a big ol' bag of em (I'm in Montana, that's how we talk) for $0.83 and have been putting them everything now! They are great!

With so much discussion around nutrition, and all of the expensive goodies we like to digest during our long sessions, for those who can digest solids, does anyone ever actually use trail mix? Jeff

I'm new to the tri/cycling world, but I'm not new to muscle soreness and headaches. I power-lift to minimize soreness from strength training, but cannot beat inflammation. Anyone have any diet/nutrition tips for fighting inflammation? I get TONS of antioxidants and alkaline water and eat 90% organic diet. Are there certain vegetables that promote inflammation? Fight inflammation?
