I am participating with a group of friends in our first mini
triathlon. We are gathering from all over the west and the only time we
have to get together is the night before the event after the orientation.
What do you suggest I serve for dinner? I'm thinking a chicken and rice
cassarole, pasta salad w/veggies and chicken, green salad and bread. Any of
this off limits?
Our crazy breast cancer survivor girlfriend talked all of us childhood friends (and our daughters) into doing this tri for the cure. Some of us haven't seen each other for almost 30 years. We have now all reconnect and communicate via email about our training. Can't wait to see everyone - will for sure keep you posted on how it goes Aug 2nd in Denver. Love your website, the best one I found.

Hi Heidi!
Three cheers for the TriathaLadies and thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com! It's wonderful to stay connected with your girlfriends in a way that's both physically and mentally healthy!
In terms of your "night before" dinner, pasta is the traditional dinner of choice. It is full of carbs, which is then turned into energy for a great race. Sounds like that base is covered in your pasta salad. The rest of the dinner sounds healthy and delicious.
In terms of you "night after" dinner, we suggest it be filled with drinks, laughter and wonderful mini-tri stories.
We wish you all the best and hope you email again with details on your race.
Be well,
~Julie
