Reward Yourselves

Several triathletes talk about which kinds of treats they reward themselves with after or during long workouts.

Two-time Ironman world champion Lori Bowden likes Snickers and Coke: "Snickers seems to have the right combination of everything my body is craving after four hours on the bike: a bit of sugar, fat and protein. Plus, it tastes really great. I don't drink Coke very often, except when I feel the energy going out of me really quickly. It seems to be one of the few things that can actually save you quite quickly when you feel yourself starting to bonk.”
