Race Day!

The first thing I thought when the alarm went off at 4:30 this morning? Practice at 9pm is gonna be rough.. this morning was the Bolder Boulder, which went awesome. Then this afternoon I got a delicious massage. Practice actually wasn’t too bad, although some sprints and quick stops/cuts near the end twinged my inner thigh a bit :-/

Food

• almond butter and banana on healthy grain toast, raspberries
• tea: blended ginger peach, seattle chai, yerba mate

  2 teaspoons peanut oil or veg oil – I used sunflower

  1 cup white cooking wine (or vegetable broth) – I used mirin ( rice wine)
  fresh black pepper to taste – NEVER!
