Winter sun ☀️ & Tofu, Broccoli Noodles 🍜

Looks peaceful right? In reality I had to fight off the chickens that have learned to fly over the gate who think anything in a bowl is theirs for the takings.

Then to top it off, Sparkles came over in front of me and proceeded to vomit up his lunch. Of course there was the dry retching body convulsions that cats do first which is always delightful.

Working on a NEW pancake 🥞 recipe. Just because I don’t have enough. 🤪 These are more like pikelets with a fluffy texture.

I’ve been pushing my food portions back up after our 2 week break in Bali/Lombok. The food we ate was sublime, but the portions are pretty small overall & especially the protein in the meals. Holding your food intake at a steady high calorie intake requires work and consistency and a big part of that is having access to all the food in abundance - something harder to have when travelling.

Some tips I’ve found to help:

🌟Pack/take protein bars & snack bars if it’s aloud through customs.
🌟Pack/take protein powder (as above)
🌟Don’t be shy on ordering two main meals
🌟Get in those juices, smoothies and iced mylk drinks inbetween meals in Indo in particular - oh and gelato!
🌟Lastly, don’t stress too much about it. It’s usually a short trip and you’re going to back in your own kitchen soon with your routine. Usually your training isn’t as high volume anyway when away for most and ideally your priority has shifted to surf, sun, sunsets & time with loved ones.

As for me…I’m back to packing away these pancakes 🥞

A few snaps from the weekends 15k Anglesea Trail Series. Outta my comfort zone here with a shorter distance and faster pace, but loved the challenge so much! Really gave this everything I had and can confidently walk away knowing I had nothing else in the tank. Such a great gauge of fitness at this point and keen as to build further & get faster overall!!

Nutrition wise, fuelled the day before with higher carb intake but didn’t go crazy high for this distance. Lots of white rice, banana, coconut water. Morning of was gf muffins w peanut butter & then a manuka honey gel before the start with a few swigs of my Raspberry hydration mix. During had approx 50g carbs mixed into my handheld with the same hydration mix. Planned to pick up more at the 20k mark of but honestly just couldn’t stop and was way too high HR to get anything down! 😂 Just pegged my water bottle at him instead to lighten the load. Good catch Hubbard. 👍🏻

Now three more races to go over the months ahead (and a whole lotta training) in the build to the biggy! 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏔️
