I'm not racing yet, but I am working up to that point. My goal is to get to the point where I can compete in CAT5s and, well, you know the rest... I'm also hoping to be able to
complete this event in 2010.
Essentially, looking for endurance for long rides and power in the climbs.
I considered that the protein might be a little bit excessive. Is there "too much" when it comes to protein? The shake minus the protein powder has a pretty good amount of protein (I use soy milk), the main reason for the whey protein was just to add balance.
As I said, I don't know much so I'm totally open to suggestions. It sounds like the consensus is that I should be a bit more conservative with these things.
