Shakeology 3-day Performance Cleanse – Day 1
Not knowing how I was going to feel energy-wise the next couple of days, I wanted to get in a BRICK workout (bike/run) this morning. I workout early in the morning so my body actual uses what I ate the day before as fuel to exercise. I changed it up a bit and rode a different route on my bike. I figured out the exact biking distance of my triathlon race (9 miles) and followed it up with a 3.1 mile run (also race distance). The first two miles of my bike ride were intense as the route consisted of a steady 2 mile hill with a couple of downside hills. I finished both the bike and run in 59 minutes 45 seconds so now I have a time to beat next time I attempt the same route. Also, IT’S OFFICIAL…I will not be taking first prize at the triathlon race. Based on last year times, some tri-athletes finished the swim/bike/run under 55 minutes…and it took me 59 minutes just to finish the bike/run! All kidding aside, my primary goal is to finish without stopping but I am hoping I can keep a solid pace throughout.
Now for Shakeology…
5:15am – I started the morning with a cup of green tea before exercising
5:30am – 9 mile bike ride followed by 3.1 mile run
7:00am – Shakeology drink mixed with 12oz of water and crushed ice
10:00am – Apple

**Had about 3-5 liters of water throughout the day**
Day 1 is almost over (going to bed soon) and it actually was not that bad to stick with it….by no means was it easy but it’s very doable. I did feel like every snack I saw was calling my name but I did not think twice about cheating so it wasn’t that bad. They claim day 1 is the hardest but I have a feeling day 2 is going to be tougher so we’ll see…
