 Tri This for Half-Time Entertainment
by Sarah K.
I'm at what I like to think is the mid-point in my life (53 by USAT standards) and finally have the opportunity to enjoy the half-time entertainment, which I am hoping to extend for a least three more decades. I saw a saying (and actually put it on my Road ID) that says, "Life is a Tri, Go for It!" and that's my plan for the future. And since the lucky day I met Joe LoPresto and learned about Experience Triathlon (ET), this is no longer a figment of my imagination; I truly believe I have a shot at being a long-term triathlete with his expert guidance.

 Coach's Corner

Getting Back to the Basics: Healthy Eating
It's the new year, and all of last year's dietary transgressions must be overcome! Sound familiar? It's so easy to let the holidays take over our eating habits as once-a-year treats appear in our homes and offices. Now it's time to regain control and get back into healthy eating. Since goal setting has been covered in Coach's Corner, I'm going to focus on the basics of healthy eating, both healthy habits and a healthy diet.
Healthy Habits
- Eat on a regular schedule, beginning with breakfast. A recent article indicates that eating regularly increases our metabolic rate.[i] Our daily feeding pattern regulates liver proteins that directly affect our metabolism. Skipping meals causes a dip in the metabolic rate. If you get into a long-term habit of skipping meals, your metabolism is consistently depressed. Missing breakfast is particularly problematic, leading to flagging energy and concentration in the morning and consistent overeating later in the day.[ii] Additional benefits of eating regularly include improved strength and endurance, better concentration, and a consistent supply of energy and nutrients to support optimal functioning all day long.
