This week on the TriTopic Triathlon show I interview Olympic triathlete Sarah Haskins at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. We talk about her recent win at the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon, her sponsors and her plans for the rest of the season. 

Talk with TeamKattouf - www.TeamKattof.com - sponsored by SBR Sports (Tri-Swim, TriSlide and Foggle)

On this weeks talk with coach and nutrition consultant Rick Kattouf, we get the answers to the following questions:

1. I work out in the morning and take my recovery drink within 30 minutes after I shower at the gym on the way to work. How long after drinking my recovery drink should I wait before eating breakfast.
2. I hear a lot of buzz about the Paleo Diet / Caveman Diet. It’s really big in the CrossFit world. What is your take on it?
3. E-Mail question from listener Ron - My question is are there any tip/training techniques to ease transition from road bike to TT bike in aero position? I am really struggling with it.

Talk with TeamKattouf

1. Weight lifting programs for triathletes. I am new to lifting and I can’t afford a personal trainer. What resources or programs would you recommend I look at? I have been considering the PX90 and Turbulence training systems.
2. Recover drinks…hot topic that came up on the TP Q&A forum this week. Is chocolate milk just as good as a recovery drink?
3. In my food plan you have a few days where I eat less calories throughout the day but have one last Muscle Milk meal before going to bed. What is this doing?
