I watched an interview with a pro triathlete a few years ago where he discussed his race day fueling strategy.  He mentioned that he consumed approximately 450 calories an hour on race day.  Without further investigation, it seemed like as good a number as any so I adopted it as my own strategy.

Fueling - Part I PDF Print

Earlier in the year, I struggled with having enough energy to train properly.  In particular, I found that I would head out for a ride and I felt like I was already bonked.  In an attempt to correct the situation, I would eat a bar as I walked out the door.  While this masked the problem, it was really nothing more than a Band-Aid for a bigger issue.

It all started with my attempt to further clean up my diet.  Since I'm not a calorie counter, I only have a general idea of how many calories I'm consuming on a daily basis.  What I failed to realize is that in its latest edition, Diet 2.0, I was running a midday calorie deficit.  It was hardly noticeable due to "make up" eating at dinner but during the day, I was short on fuel.

My wife will attest to the fact that I am absolutely dedicated to my training and hardly ever miss a session.  Despite my dedication, I sometimes find that I drag my feet before heading out the door for a workout.  Email, Twitter, or even writing this blog entry will distract me and my departure is suddenly delayed by 30 minutes.

A few months ago, I got tired of my procrastination because it was frequently causing a schedule pileup.  The bike departure would delay the run departure which would delay the swim departure and next thing I know, I'm cooking dinner late at night because I couldn't get my butt out of the computer chair.

Of the many things I had planned for today, being naked with two women wasn't one of them.  But I'm getting ahead of myself so let's start at the beginning.

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm out on a long bike ride.  I'll skip all of the boring details and get to the part where a bee slams into my head, stinger as well, and nearly causes me to crash.  I manage to keep the bike upright but it hit me so hard I thought it had pierced my skull.  A few hours later, my eye started to swell.

Fat Kid Issues PDF Print

I was reading this article the other day, I came across the following sentence:  "...if you’ve been fat then weight is always an issue!"  As I read that sentence, I nodded my head as if I understood exactly what he was talking about.  The fact that I "do" understand is amazing since I've never been a fat kid and yet I have fat kid issues.

As a youngster, I was nicknamed "skinny Vinny" and the "bottomless pit" because I was thin as a rail and could've easily kicked Kobayashi's ass in an eating contest.  I was capable of devouring a table filled with food and it appeared as if I had a "hollow leg" -- which was another term used often.
