Supermum wins world triathlon place

I love seeing stuff like this as it blows the smoke out of so many stuck up asses that hold their achievments up as a years of dedication and mindless training, not that I am saying to be world class you do not have to train but as you would have gathered if you have read stuff on this blog I am not a fan of  a hyped up gristmill training program and more is better type training pursuits

MARTINE SNOWDON, a barrister at Exchange Chambers, in Liverpool, has achieved her  ambition of qualifying for the World Triathlon Championships, to be held in Vancouver next year.

Ms Snowdon achieved her qualifying time at the recent Bala Triathlon, and is now set to take her place in the British team.

She said: “It’s all happened really quickly. I liked the idea of having a go at a triathlon so got myself a bike last Christmas and started cycling to work.

“I then stepped things up by doing some early morning swimming and a few evening runs.”

Mother-of-three Ms Snowdon only completed her first triathlon in June and surprised herself. She added: “After my first triathlon, I realised I wasn’t too far off the qualifying time for the world championships so I decided to really give it a go,” she added.

Ms Snowdon’s finishing time of 2 hours, 13 minutes  ( that is a decent time in anybodies money) made her the fastest finisher not attached to an official club.

She said: “I’m absolutely thrilled, if a little exhaust- ed. I am hoping to take the children over to Vancouver next year so they can watch mum compete.”

  • Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

    Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

       1. Drink water, all you care for, before during and after engaging in

       strenuous activity


       2. Eat fruit upon completion of activity to bring blood sugar back

      to normal levels and provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen.


       3. Consume celery and/or tomatoes to provide necessary

       sodium at least several times per week or as often as you participate

       in strenuous activity.


       4. When possible, rest after meals to foster optimum digestion.


       5. Remember, exercise does not provide energy, it requires energy.

        Sleep as much as you desire.


       6. During long duration activities, drink sports drinks of fruit blended

       with water. This works very well. For "ultra" events, add celery to the mixture.


       7. Monitor your water losses by using a scale to measure your weight before

        and after workouts.


       8. Raw foods provide the maximum nutrients for the minimal calories 


        encouraging the most rapid recovery. Gradually raise the raw percentage

        of your diet until you approach or reach 100%.


       9. Develop the habit of going to bed earlier to obtain a good night's sleep.


      10. Keep meals simple for optimum digestion, and varied to insure optimum nutrition.
