Triathlon Club Year-End Celebration Update

Here are more details on the year-end celebration; our chance to observe all things good about the Talisman Triathlon Club:

Time: Thursday November 4th from 6:30 PM, until 10:00. I have warned the neighbours that our not-so-quiet group is getting together that evening, with the understanding that we’ll wind down by 10:00. After that time, we will follow Felix to Original Joe’s, where he’s well known.

Location: The Traynor condo at 2320 Erlton Street SW, # 204. It’s the 4-5 storey condo building immediately south of the Talisman Centre parking lot. Press the keyboard for Traynor (#1009) and the door will open; then take the elevator to #204.

What’s happening: This is a long overdue get-together of the club, and Jon and Grant have promised to give their news, views and boos about the 2010 triathlon season that was.

The Catch: There are no funds in the budget for these events, so it’s going to be a “bring your own beverage (alcoholic or otherwise)” and “potluck” event. We’ll try to keep this loose, so for purposes of feeding yourself and fellow hungry triathletes, we’ll organize it as this: If your surname falls into the A-H range, bring something that would work as an appetizer. If your surname falls into the I-R range, bring an entrée type food. Then if your surname falls into the S-Z range, bring something that resembles a dessert. I believe potato chips fall into all these categories.

See you there: There’s no way to RSVP on the blog, so just show up and let’s talk tri. See you on November 4th.

Hello to all members,

Whilst riding during the Wednesday night brick and peddling my way to no-where inparticular, Jon asked me to explain my post workout nutrition, this caught me off guard, so I mumbled something about something which probably didn't make any sense, so this is my very tasty post workout shake.

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, this should be approx 25 gms of protein, (I choose vanilla as a neutral base flavor.)
1/2 scoop of Boom powder, this will give you back lost electrolytes, (Gatorade if you prefer, Boom powder and gels are available at MEC.)
3/4 scoop of Greens +,
1 small pot of your favorite pro biotic yogurt,
then fruit of your choosing, I switch from frozen mixed berry's to tropical mix, this is great as the frozen fruit helps mix every thing together in a blender, if I use bananas I will add a couple of ice cubes to help with the mixing, as they will give a very creamy texture,
The amount of water is up to you to decide.

I hope you enjoy this mix.

Felix.
