Kashi rocks

First and foremost, thank you NAA for your Kashi tip! Before spinning yesterday I had 2 packets of the Kashi Oatmeal and a banana. (okay, AND a diet coke to wake me up). The strangest thing happened...

I went to this spinning class and was able to pretty much keep up! I didn't keep adding tension everytime Dany told us to, and I did sit down for about 3 minutes of the standing - but I actually was able to survive the class! AND... this is just weird... I got home and was very energized. (!!!) I cleaned for an hour and a half when I got home while dinner was cooking in the oven, and then for almost another hour after dinner. (along with trying to entertain the kids). It was strange. I will definately try that again next week before spinning. I think I might start having that for breakfast EVERY day. sheesh.

So that tells me that I REALLY do need to research some nutrition for training. Does anyone have a good tri-training book they would recommend? Does it include nutrition? I am thinking the tri book since the tri is before the 3-century in 3-day ride. I would consider a good cycle training book too. Or even better, a website with good information.

THANKS!

Oh, note to self: maybe 2 pair of cycling shorts for spinning class? nah - that'd just be silly.... suck it up!
