Nutrition Quiz

Aidan, Myles and Sasha enjoying their post race meal in Lindsay.


Here are the 11 foods that Denis Collier said swimmers should eat:
blueberries, tomatoes, watermelon, salmon, all bran cereal, soy milk, lentils/beans, spinach (matey!!), sweet potatoes, probiotic yogurt and whole grain/whole wheat bread. I'm sure they are good for triathletes too.
Apparently, the watermelon is great at swim meets as a quick fuel between races. It might be a good option for those triathlons where you have to put your bike in transition early but then don't race for a couple of hours. As with any food or energy drink, try it well ahead of race day so that you don't have any tummy surprises.

How many of the 11 foods made it to the post-race table in Lindsay?
