10 Super Foods for Endurance Athletes
By Elizabeth Stein (for Trifuel.com)
Low energy is simply not an option for an Endurance Athlete! In my series "Eating for Energy: Teleclass for Endurance Athletes" I walk you through the diet and lifestyle changes you can implement to fuel your body for maximum performance. Here is a quick look at the top 10 foods every endurance athlete should have on their shopping list.
1. Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah), also known as a "super food" for its high nutritional profile, is my favorite fast-cooking grain. It cooks in just 10-15 minutes.
Quinoa is an ancient high-energy grain from South America. The Incas used it to increase the stamina of their warriors and allow them t run long distances at high altitudes. It is the ideal food for endurance....

Race of the Year - Last week we checked on the Race of the Year voting and discovered several things. First of all, voting has been brisk and is on pace to break records. Secondly, forty-two events have received votes, which suggests that, as usual, approximately half of the multisport events in our state actively encourage their participants to vote for ROY.
We also leanred that there hasn't been any more obvious cheating this year than there has been in years past. But there hasn't been any less, either.
Catching cheating is fun, and easier than you might think, but we're not going to divulge all of our policing methods here....
