Tri Zones Training

I figure this is a good time to talk about my experience with Meredith and what a difference it has made for me.   As some of you may know I have been struggling with nausea/throwing up on my bike since the end of last year. I have seen several medical doctors, including an gastroenterologist,  had many painful, expensive tests and foundNothing but a bit of inflamed stomach lining.    This ended my tri season a bit early last year.   I have been tryingVarious things, but nothing was making a difference.    Then I saw the note from Pam Tobias about how she was seeing a nutrionist, one of my medical doctors suggestedI give this a try, perhaps it was my food intake.    So I sent Meredith an email with Pam’s assistance and setup an appt.Her rates were very reasonable, I figure if I am paying for training for a TRI, why wouldn’t I spend the extra money toHelp with my food intake?    On our first meeting I knew quickly that she was the right person to help, she is in amazing shape and an athlete herselfSo she knows what she is talking about!!   She gave me a personalized meal plan, I am eating 5 times a day, never reallyFeeling hungry.  On that first meeting she gave me TONS of great food ideas, and gave me specific products to buy!  ThatMakes a huge difference for me because I often know how to eat but I am not sure which items are better than others.As if my personalized meal plan wasn’t enough, she gave me information on what to eat when I eat out, how to hydrate properly,What to eat before/after long workouts.   She even breaks down what to eat/drink during a swim, bike and a run.   Giving meThis info has literally changed my workouts.    The FIRST WEEK I was on my new food plan, I biked the new part of Parmer 17.5 miles, with a terrible head wind that took overAn hour to get back, NOT ONCE did I get nauseas!   That is a huge deal for me because on almost all rides this year, I haveEither gotten so sick I had to pull over or not able to make it at all.       Needless to say I am a HUGE fan of her’s and have been on her plan for 3 weeks now and I am down 5 lbs and my workouts are Better than they have ever been!!  If you are going to spend the $$ to train with a group you should spend the $$ to learn howTo fuel properly,  Meredith is the person to help you do this!  

Huge Kudos to (little) Pam for this great tip!!
