Talk with TeamKattouf - www.TeamKattof.com - sponsored by SBR Sports (Tri-Swim, TriSlide and Foggle)

On this weeks talk with coach and nutrition consultant Rick Kattouf, we get the answers to the following questions:

I work out in the morning and take my recovery drink within 30 minutes after I shower at the gym on the way to work. How long after drinking my recovery drink should I wait before eating breakfast.
I hear a lot of buzz about the Paleo Diet / Caveman Diet. It’s really big in the CrossFit world. What is your take on it?
E-Mail question from listener Ron - My question is are there any tip/training techniques to ease transition from road bike to TT bike in aero position? I am really struggling with it.

First race in 2 years, time for some new gear!

noreply@blogger.com (celmore) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:25:00 +0000

I went by OneTri today to pickup some new gear. My last race was Ironman Arizona in November of 2008, so I figured I deserved some new stuff. I ended up with two new tri tops, two new tri shorts and a new aero helmet! I picked the color orange because I plan to have the TriTopics logos put on them.

What is it about new gear that makes you feel like you can go so much faster?

I remember as a kid thinking that I could run so much faster when I got a new pair of shoes.

Have a great weekend. Good luck Ironman CDA competitors...I will be watching you on the Ironman website.

USA Triathlon adopts new wetsuit rule starting 2013
Beginning January 1th, 2013, any competitor wearing a wetsuit with any part measuring greater than 5 millimeters will be disqualified. Very few wetsuits are actually over 5 millimeters, so this should be an issue for too many people.

Ironman now has an official cereal
Wheaties FUEL was chosen as the official cereal of the Ironman Triathlon for its ability to provide professional and aspiring Ironman athletes with the energy-delivering nutrients needed to reach the highest levels of athletic performance. Triathlete Hunter Kemper was part of the Wheaties development team for the cereal along with Peyton Manning, Kevin Garnett, gold medal-winning decathlete Bryan Clay.

Nutrition DVD Giveaway!!!

noreply@blogger.com (celmore) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:50:00 +0000

I purchased the DVD 3-set called “RX Nutrition” about two months ago when I really started trying to dial my nutrition in for this season. The DVD is by a nutritional and multisport coach name Rick Kattouf. I was also looking for a Half IM training plan at the time and Rick had plans online at Training Peaks so I thought it would be a good way for me to get a feel for him. After watching the plan I decided I wanted to take it a step further and I signed up with Rick for some nutrition planning. It has been a five weeks and so far I am loving the plan Rick has put together for me. I have lost 12 lbs of body fat so far. He has great energy and is very motivating.

When I signed up to work with Rick and TeamKattouf, he sent me another copy of the DVD ($49.95 value). So I have decided to give it away to one of you.

From the DVD...

“Have you Struggled with weight loss? Are you tired of losing and then gaining weight? Has chronic dieting become your norm? Or are you looking to get into the best shape of your life so you can swim, bike, and run faster? If so, Rx Nutrition is for you! Let me help you break through the clutter and streamline key nutrition principles to help you get the most out of life, fitness, and sport.”

I am also going to include one of the TriTopics greeting cards that I designed to raise money for the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation.

So leave me a comment on this post and I will put you in the drawing.

Pass along the giveaway info on your blog and I will put your name in two more times!!! Let me know you put it on your blog.

I will draw the winner on the 4th of July!!!

Hope you everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!!!

This weekend was a very productive training weekend for me.

On Saturday I ran my long run of 8 miles in heart rate zone 2. The run was slow, but I felt really good.

On Sunday I did a brick workout with a hilly ride through Santiago Canyon followed by a hilly 3 mile run through Peter's Canyon. The weather was amazing.

Today (Monday) I meet my buddy Dave and his wife at my community pool. Dave did a 2200 yard workout while I swam the first 50 yards with him and then spent the rest of the time working with his wife on her technique.

This afternoon I ran a 3 mile time trail up at the high school track. The run was a killer, but I pulled off 6:50's per mile which was a big surprise. I am feeling more and more confident in my run.

Here it my weekly review video...
