Sponsors!!

It is hard to believe my first triathlon of the season is only 3 more days away….I am anxious, excited, and nervous! These are the “good” pre-race jitters though. Before I talk more about my racing and daily activities, I would first like to introduce some new sponsors for 2009.

I am very excited to be working with Pamela’s Products in 2009! Pamela’s makes a bunch of yummy gluten free cookies and baked products. I have been using their cookies for fuel during my bike rides

In previous blog posts I mentioned some of my “diet” restrictions and I am happy to announce that we finally have a bit of concrete evidence of what is going on with me. I have been following a gluten free diet for a few months along with other diet restrictions and have been feeling great; I never thought the problem was gluten though (we thought it was fructose and yeast) as I had been tested for Celiac 4 years ago and it came back clean. Low and behold with further testing we found out I have an allergy to gliadin (wheat gluten). Right now I am in the process of having other food allergies tested. Kudo’s to Megan, my wonderful nutritionist who has kept me “healthy” and happy. I will keep you posted on my “food” adventures.

I am also happy to be promoting Justin’s Nut Butter at Oceanside 70.3 this weekend. Justin’s makes a variety of nut butters in different flavors that are surprise, Gluten free! And taste awesome. If you have not tried Justin’s Nut Butter, I advise you do or get a hold of me for some yummy samples.

Also, my wonderful wheel sponsor Rol Wheels. Huge thanks to Sean who has gone out of his way to ensure I have some of the fastest wheels for Oceanside!! I am really proud and honored to be riding Rol Wheels this weekend!!

Finally, I just received word that I was accepted to the Brooks Inspire Daily program. I love Brooks’s running shoes and have run in Adrenalines for over two years now. With my wide feet and low arch, Brook s makes the perfect shoe for me!! I am excited to collaborate with Brooks this year and promote some of their new products.

Back to Oceanside 70.3….Gregory and I leave Thursday morning for California. I have a lot of packing to do still!! Within 24 hours, Gregory will have an athlete tracker system up and running so that you can watch me survive the swim and hammer the bike and run on Saturday. I will post it here when it is ready.

Train hard!!
