February 4, 2012

This morning we (I mean, the hubs) set off for a long ride… 5+hours. So what was so important about this ride? Well, it was the “trial nutrition” run. We found out all the brands/nutrition on the race course and set out to get a few samples ourselves. In Ironman training, it’s CRUCIAL to test [...]
