I would certainly want plenty of liquids to hydrate - and THEN the white wine :) I made a really good oatmeal/granola bar recipe that I found on Kath Eats Real Food. Great for post-workout. Email me if you want it and I'll send it to you! Tough call!

I came off of a cutback week last week raring to run.  I finished[...]

I'm back in the pool, myself, and on to help out with an adaptive biking clinic this weekend (biking with people who have strokes, spinal cord injuries, MS, etc. ) As for your question the other day, I may not be the best person for tri advice. Last year, I just jumped in completely unprepared with a heavy mountain bike, no experience to see if I liked it. LOVED IT and now I'm starting to get equipment. I used "Your First Triathlon" by Joel Friel for training. You may be a bit beyond this book, though. I'm using "The Triathlete's Training Bible" (same author) now, which may be more your speed, based upon the training plans you post. Best tid bit I picked up last year: get a dunk bucket for your transition to wash the sand off your feet while you throw on your shirt, helmet, etc. Wetsuits...I've never used for 1/4 or 1/2 mile swims. But I gotta buy one this year for the 1 miler in super cold ocean water this August. BRRRR! Sounds like lots of fun out your way!

It's good to take a break. You know what I like - bananas and peanut butter. I'm so lame. Good job not running! It’s good to take a break. You know what I like – bananas and peanut butter.

It's not a major setback to miss one run. Your body will thank you by not injuring itself! Finish line goods... I always want salt...potato chips, pretzels, snacky food. I almost never have it handy though. For some reason all of my races want to serve steak after the race. That makes no sense to me...does anyone really WANT to eat steak after running long distances?
