Enhanced Athletic Recovery Without Undermining Adaptation

Might the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of plant-based diets undermine some of the benefits of exercise?

What an experience! . This is my last “big” week of training before @ironmantri Arizona on November 24th. This week’s adjusted schedule had me down for a 4 hour and 30 minute @trainerroad session, which I ride on @gozwift. . I had to add on an extra 24 minutes to capture that coveted @gozwifttriathlon Century Kit, but it was totally worth it! 🏆🏁 . A swim this afternoon and a long run tomorrow morning, and then the taper to race day begins.🌵 . . . #imaz #teamzoot #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #paincave #garmin

November mornings never disappoint. .

Time for an overdue post. Let’s head back to early September and the @bestinthewestevents Triathlon Festival in Sweet Home, Oregon, September 6-8, 2019. . This is one of the best triathlon events in the Northwest. The location, beautiful course and event execution are outstanding! 🏆 Checkout my 2018 review at bit.ly/bitwreview . Applying my “race rules” set in mid-2019, this event was all about fun. I didn’t care about finish times or rankings. I took my time in transitions and just enjoyed the race experience. . It was a challenging race. Having finished this Half Iron (70.3) course in 2018, I expected to do “better” since I was now familiar with it. The conditions were amazing (overcast, ~60°F), yet I was slower year-over-year. . After finishing, Naomi came over and said, “You finished 3rd in your age group!”🥉 I was like, “Impossible.” I checked finished times for 2018 participants and knew I couldn’t finish fast enough to podium. . We checked again and sure enough, it was a podium! 🎉 I was slow, and so was everyone else, and post race many chatted about how it was harder/slower for many of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️ . This was my first age group podium finish in a triathlon and I was thrilled. 🤗 . Thanks to Naomi and the boys for all of the love and support. Thanks to you, the Instagram family for the on-going encouragement and support. I was grateful to be the one to get Team Zoot on the podium for this wonderful Half Iron race. . . . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #lgbtq🌈 #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #lgbt #teamzoot

It’s wonderful to work for a company that emphasizes, promotes and supports diversity and inclusion. . When you walk into the lobby @intel you are greeted with a reminder that diversity and inclusion are critical to innovation. This statement is so true at work, and in life. . I love and celebrate the advancement of race, gender, and sexual identity (LGBTQ+) equality, awareness and support. . Be bold. Be beautiful. Be you. The future is bright. ❤️🌈 . . . #pride #gay #lgbt #loveislove #lgbtq #love #instagay #lesbian #gaypride #queer #bisexual #gayboy #transgender #pridemonth #trans #rainbow #dragqueen #lovewins #pansexual #like #equality #follow #photography #drag #bi #instagram #nonbinary #makeup #gaylove #vegan

I’m 3 hours into a 3 hour and 45 minute long ride. It’s nice to be productive on these long rides. A small table from Costco helps stay aero-ish and still get work done. The Wahoo KICKR desk is on its way from Amazon. It just didn’t make it in time 😅 . @trainerroad and @gozwifttriathlon keep track of my effort in the background. So awesome 🙌🏼 . . . 📷: @nomi_red . #imaz #teamzoot #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #paincave #garmin

A beautiful logging road training run in the backyard yesterday afternoon. 80°F with a breeze. You can’t ask for better weather. 🏃🏽‍♂️ . I’m currently in the Base Phase of the Triathlon Full Distance training plan on @trainerroad preparing for IRONMAN Arizona in November. The session for yesterday included 8 x 1 min hill sprints. . Unfortunately it’s only and up-and-down terrain, but it’s great to be alone in the woods to calm the mind and focus the effort. 🎯 . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #trailrun #oregon #timberland #altrarunning #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #teamzoot #triathlonlife #workout #garmin

Repost from @loveloudfest . Plant-powered athlete Megan Rapinoe @mrapinoe of the World Cup-winning @uswnt gave an inspiring speech in NYC during the team’s victory parade: “Love more, hate less.” .

My fresh rules for the second half of 2019, and maybe beyond. 🤔 . So far this year, the events I’ve enjoyed the most were those where I had no goals for a specific finish time. Just give a solid effort, and most importantly, have fun. 🙌🏼 . The events that I went in with finish time goal ended in disappointment. Not major disappointment, just frustrated that I wasn’t a bit faster. 😤 . I came away so personally fulfilled just racing for fun, versus racing for time. So for the remainder of 2019, I’m continuing to train for health, train to race well and recover quick, and race for fun. 😁 . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #mtb #teamzoot
