Have you ever wondered if you are treating your body right? Are you giving it what it deserves both on the inside and outside?  Nutrition and skin care are essential components in triathlon. With all the training that we do it is vital to ensure we are fueling right and protecting ourselves from harmful skin damage.  Please join us in our next two part educational series on Nutrition and Skin Cancer so that you can discover what you can do to better yourself.
