Comments: I was home visiting my parents this week with Annie. I was helping my dad get used to his bike so lots of skills rides with him. Lots of food at my parents house, more indulgence that I am used to. I did a lot of relaxing on the patio and that was very nice.

Sonja's Bio
I grew up in an active family with lots of hiking, skiing and backpacking. I ran Cross Country and Track in High School and for two years in college before being lured away by rock climbing and mountaineering. After a two year stint in grad school and having my daughter I found myself overweight and leading a fairly inactive lifestyle. I started biking and jogging with my daughter and found my way into the triathlon world. I have completed two triathlon seasons, spending my time at Sprint and Olympic distance races.
Initial Level of Fitness
When the 17 hour training day study began I had completed Olympic distance races. My initial level of endurance was such that I could complete the following at a comfortable pace with minimal recovery time:
- 6-7 hour rides
- 10-13 mile runs
- 4000 meter swims
Initial Nutrition
At my initial level of training I regularly consume 2000-2500 calories a day. I stick to whole grains, lots of veggies, and lean proteins (fish, chicken and legumes, no beef). I have a weakness for fruit.
Favorite Food: Popcorn!
