We had a blast on Monday night at the Women's clinic! The weather was perfect and everyone was happy and learned a lot (including me!). We spent some time in the driveway talking about the mental side of riding and racing. We did a few vision drills then rode over to the nearby school to practice some more drills. We finished off with some practice on the dirt at Trailside Bike Park!
Then it was time to hear from Dallas and Melissa from Whole9life! They gave an incredible presentation and really tailored it towards endurance athletes (endurance; meaning mountain biking, not cross fit). They created a custom handout, specific to this clinic. While they spoke we ate the most delicious Paleo meal that I've ever eaten. If I could eat food that tasty and nutritious for every meal, I'd be in heaven! Amy Knight catered the event for me, she specializes in gluten-free cooking.
The menu: Peach and yellow pepper gazpacho. Roasted vegetables (beets, carrots, butternut squash, sweet potato, fresh basil, fresh rosemary and; fresh thyme). Spinach and kale salad with avocados, fresh oranges, dried cranberries, pecans and an orange/lemon/olive oil dressing. Pesto tilapia fish and blackened tilapia fish. Orange zest mixed nuts. Watermelon with lime and fresh basil. Then we snuck in some dark chocolate, almond, coconut bark sprinkled with sea salt (no photos of the chocolate-it was inhaled!).
Everyone got their Stan's NoTubes sealant, injector, core remover and socks or a shirt. They also got a Tulbag from Backcountry Research, elete Electrolytes, and they chose which color of ESI grips they wanted! Additionally, they got discount codes for product from ALL of my sponsors!
