Nutrition Basics for Triathlon with TNT

Last weekend I had the pleasure of representing PowerBar Team Elite and joining the Team in Training Eastern PA Triathlon team for a great session on Nutrition for Triathletes. The group will be participating in the TriRock Triathlon Series event in Philadelphia in June and meets at the Spring Mill Station in Conshohocken for their cycling workouts.  From there it is easy access onto the Schyulkill River Trail.  I set up a PowerBar display right in the parking lot and filled it with PowerBar Perform Drink, PowerBar Recovery Drink, Energy Gels, Gel Blasts and Bars.

Coach Ken Modica started things off and we covered a good range of topics covering everyday, pre and post workout and race day nutrition topics.  

To our surprise, most of the riders that day only had water in their bottles.  They quickly filled up with PowerBar Perform Sports Drink to give that a try on their ride.  This won't be the drink on the course for their race, but PowerBar Gels will be there!  

We had a great Q&A session and then headed out for a training ride.  The SRT is a multi-use trail that currently has over 60 miles of finished trail and a projected total of almost 130 miles when completed. We entered at the Spring Mill Trailhead and headed west following the mighty Schuylkill River, past Norristown to the Betzwood Trailhead where we turned around for our return trip back to Spring Mill. 

A beautiful morning and a great ride!  Thank you again for having me join you.  Good luck everyone!!!  Go Team!
