I don't know if they're any good, but from the testimonials on the web site people seem to love 'em.<BR/><BR/>http://www.matisseandjacks.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-43213245372304602372007-12-28T04:27:00.000-09:002007-12-28T04:27:00.000-09:00Geoff ~ ~ ~ Food IS good, and good for you too. I'...Geoff ~ ~ ~ Food IS good, and good for you too. I'm glad you were able to take some time off to cook something nice for you and Jill.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of food, have you experimented with making your own energy bars? A couple weeks ago I took along meatballs on my five above zero ride and found the protein to be helpful in generating heat. Since you are a vegan, you could make rice balls with adzuki beans with other soy protein and keep it from freezing by carrying it in a pack with some hand warmers inside (on your sled, or in a fanny pack)<BR/><BR/>Another idea is to eat like it's going outta style and put on five pounds a few weeks before the race. You'll feel a bit more sluggish hauling around those extra pounds but you'll burn them off during the race (generating heat in the process).<BR/><BR/>OK, enough of my unsolicited suggestions! I'm sure you and Jill have heard a ton of 'em! Well, it's because we all want to help in whatever way we can and see you and Jill succeed on this amazing adventure. Good luck with your training. ~ ~ daveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
