Want to know what my favorite pre-race meal is?
Pizza!
Specifically homemade pizza using Publix pizza dough that can be found in the bakery section.
Derek and I split the dough in half and made two large pizzas – one for me and one for him. 
We had a plethora of toppings to choose from.
My toppings
- Mushrooms
- Artichoke Hearts
- Chickpeas
- Leeks
- Beets
- Feta
- Mozzarella
- Basil
15 minutes later it was pizza time!
I had 1/2 of my pizza with the rest of the brussel sprouts from last night’s dinner.
Pizza, Pizza
For dessert I had a serving of coffee ice cream with a Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookie.
Tomorrow I am racing in my SECOND sprint triathlon! Eekk!!!
Can you believe it was over a year ago that I was competing in my first?
I’ll never forget that race. It was the week after my sister’s accident and I swam, biked, and ran in her honor.
It was one of the most exciting races I’ve ever competed in thanks to the extra support and transitions.
I actually can’t believe I let so much time go between tris – I hope to not let that be the case again.
Last year my official finish time was 1:36:44.146 This year I am aiming for around 1:30:00. I feel much more prepared this time around and really feel like I can kick some serious booty tomorrow morning. Let’s hope all that training paid off!

Good Night!

Did you notice how you felt after having that type of meal the night before race day? I have only done one triathlon and had pasta the night before but I didn’t sleep very well. Your pizza looked awesome and I just wanted to know if you thought it was a good idea to eat like that pre race day. Thanks
I love making pizza, I usually over-load on toppings
Good luck with the race! I’m sure you’ll do amazing, with that great attitude!
Good luck! I’ll be thinking of you
And anyway, you’re bound to do well- you fueled up with that pizza, and said pizza looks SO GOOD!
