Before during and after the #pittsburghdirtydozen 😅 What a way to celebrate 4 months of cycling AND my first ever Pittsburgh ride. 12.5 out of 13 ridiculous hills, 6,600 ft of elevation and 60 miles successfully completed (.5 of unfinished business to finish next year 👀)

S/o to @collin_darby and @rachaelbeards03 for meeting me at the top of the wildest hill and @coach_heatherb for nervously tracking my location the entire race and sending me hype after each hill 🥰

I also owe a huge s/o to all of the crazy, supportive, energetic Pittsburgh crowds cheering us to the top of each hill, you guys are unmatched and the real MVPs 😅 taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by @maddiewacker

But first, SNACKS 🥞 Real time footage of me packing up some pancakes pre-ride.

Nutrition is KEY in the pursuit of any athletic endeavor. Proper fuel before training or competition provides you with the energy to work at the level needed to stimulate adaptation during training or to perform your best during competition. Post training and competition fuel contribute directly to adaptation and recovery and can minimize the risk of staying in a low energy state for too long. If your training is long duration, frequent, high intensity or a combination, you may have to consider intra-training or competition fuel. Make sure whatever you plan to use during competition, you’re practicing during training!

Even if you don’t feel like you have “athletic goals”, general heath, wellness, and even weight loss goals can benefit hugely from planning nutrition in and around training in order to optimize your hard work in the gym (like building or maintaining muscle mass, especially if you’re in a deficit!), recovery, and even managing cravings and preventing overeating later in the day.

It doesn’t have to be complicated, fancy, or expensive! If you’re unsure where to start, come back to your goals - building muscle requires a higher emphasis on protein, endurance/high volume training with short periods of recovery in between sessions requires carbs and may benefit from protein; weight loss requires a caloric deficit overall so consider how you’re spreading your intake across the day with special attention to eating around training and making sure you’re consuming adequate protein.

The more specific your goals, the more specific your nutrition plan should be!

Ps don’t forget about hydration. One of these days I’ll master drinking and cycling at the same time lol taken in Little Rock, Arkansas by @maddiewacker

Grateful for this team that constantly presents me with new opportunities, challenges me, teaches me, supports me, and keeps me laughing every day. The opportunities that I’ve had and the life I get to live each day have come at no small cost to many others who have sacrificed much more 🇺🇸 taken in Little Rock, Arkansas by @maddiewacker
