We sprinkle it over oatmeal for extra calories before a big ride. We pour it onto yogurt for a post-workout second breakfast. We spoon it on ice cream for dessert. And we always pack a batch (double-bagged) in our gear duffle when we go abroad to race, so we’re sure to have a familiar food on hand.]]>11 Snack Ideas from our Readershttp://www.wassnertwins.com/updates/2012/2/15/11-snack-ideas-from-our-readers.htmlAthlete Food2012-02-15T14:42:17ZAthlete Food SnackWorking out later?  Need something to snack on now?  How about one of these from our Athlete Food readers:

I am back in New York and am working with my trainers and doctor to figure out what exactly I did to my foot while running into and out of the ocean.

While it is disappointing that I didn't finish the race, it was great to be back in the ITU action. The race venue was one of the best Continental Cup courses I've experienced.  Beautiful, clean water, no cars or potholes on the bike course and lots of fans. 

Congrats to all of the podium finishers, including Sarah Wassner Flynn, who collected prize money for her 3rd  place in the 6 am 3k road race.
