The Triathlon Bike

September 11th, 2009

Here’s the new bike (Trek 1.5) an entry level bike, perfect for a novice.  It’s my first ever road bike and the first time I’ve used cleats!

I had a 30min cycle today on the way back from the bike shop; pedal power. Now I can really start training.

Todays food:

Breakfast: avocado on rye bread

Lunch: salad with walnuts and spelt pasta

Snacks: brazil nuts, almonds, raisons and figs

Dinner: I’ve just been out for a meal, it can be a challenge on a vegan diet, all the vegetarian meals tend to involve a lot of cheese! I found a starter I could have as a main and without the cheese; field mushrooms stuffed with roast vegetables and side salad.
