Comment by Brian Mull on January 2, 2012 at 6:49pm: For those who have run at the Northlake Nature Center, are the trails fairly smooth, or lots of tree roots and rough? Just wondering.

Comment by Daniel Burke on April 30, 2010 at 11:04am: Give Dawn a bonus point! Carbs are for energy and Protein is for tissue growth. But remember the best carbs come from fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds because those foods come packed with thousands of antioxidants, in the most absorbable form (whole food). Pasta and bread do not have this benefit. Those antioxidants are crucial to the triathlete because they rid the body of exercised- induced free radicals we create training as hard as we do. Free radicals are one of the biggest problems facing triathletes today so it is something you should familiarize yourself with.
OK we'll give Ray a half a point for his answer of Fat. Fat is a back up source of energy as it converts to glycogen when you deplete your initial storage from carbs. This is very important if you are racing or training for long extended periods of time like Ray does.
