NUTRITION 
How do you give your body the fuel it needs when you're racing multiple times in a single day?
Whether you’d like to take on the Olympic 10K marathon swim challenge or perhaps go even farther by taking on the 34K+ swim across the English Channel, an understanding of ‘aqua’ fueling is critical to ensure a safe and successful swim.
Chipotle Mexican Grill today announced that it will offer a new, limited time burrito in honor of American cycling team, Slipstream-Chipotle, which will compete in the Tour de France in July. Called “Le Burrito,” it is made to meet the dietary needs of world-class athletes and will be featured in all Chipotle restaurants nationwide throughout the Tour de France, which runs from July 5 through July 27.
Now that the racing season is upon us, many athletes are meticulously planning their schedules and deciding where the races will take them. Sometimes the events are right in our backyards and we have the luxury of sleeping in our own beds, eating breakfast at our kitchen tables and sticking close to our typical routines before heading out the door for a short drive to the race venue.
Whether you are professional cyclist pushing some serious wattage to win a race or a bike newbie who’s just excited to explore the countryside, a sound nutrition plan will be a huge determining factor in how your body responds to the century challenge.

The forecast leading into the event calls for more of the same, so your head hits the pillow confidently for a restful sleep the night before the race. The following morning your alarm goes off and you’re out the door to the start of the race, but there’s a little hiccup… it’s already 70 degrees and the gun hasn’t even gone off! Nervous? Well don’t be. 
For all the counting, measuring, weighing, fussing and fretting most Americans do to watch calories, we often allow liquid calories to sneak in. Almost one-quarter of the calories Americans consume come from beverages. Shockingly, sodas and other sweet drinks are the single largest calorie contributors to the American diet and to America’s ballooning waistline.
Paying attention to the glycemic index may be a positive for
your performance.
