Self-Described Fun Hater?

LOTOJA, a 206 mile, one day bike race from Logan Utah to Jackson, Wyoming, couldn’t possibly have invited worse weather. It was exhilarating, challenging, miserable suffering. LOTOJA is torture enough in good weather. This year, it was pure masochism, a weather induced race of attrition.

The Isis Cassandra Pant

So, I must confess…the first thing I did in my new Isis pants is climb up two sets of scaffolding, grab on to the rope as a hand line, and start roofing our straw bale home with my husband.

Bonking before the boys?

Finally…a valid excuse for my biking breakdowns. When I start bonking on the trail things can get really ugly. The rule of thumb when my boyfriend rides with me is: Wait until I yell out three “F” curses in a row before stopping to check if I am okay.

Eat Well to Play Hard

Have you ever been frustrated while exercising with your husband, boyfriend or male buddies because you seem to get hungry and/or thirsty before they do? It just seems like even though you are strong and fit they can go forever and not have to eat or drink. This can be very frustrating for female athletes and some assume this difference somehow reflects weakness. The reality is there are physiological reasons for this phenomenon and they are related to glycogen not weakness.

Fun hating can be a tough job...but a noble one.

It is 8:30pm Saturday, Sept 10th, as I watch the remaining of approximately 1,000 racers of the Lotoja ride into Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It is dark and pouring rain, but they smile obliviously after completing a torturous day of riding 210 miles from Logan, Utah to Jackson, Wyoming. On the menu of weather for the day were 30-40 degree temperatures, rain, snow, and blowing winds.

Food For Life: Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin Bread

YUMMY! You would think that bread bought from the freezer section would not be much good. WRONG! The organic sprouted grain products from Food For Life are awesome. The Cinnamon Raisin is my favorite for breakfast with either a bit of organic cream cheese or with some blackberry jam. This is a great substitute for traditional breads that contain milled flour.
