The Life Time Indoor Tri is poised to drive new athletes to triathlon in 2019.
In the past, most new triathletes experienced race day as a trial by fire: a chaotic (and nerve-wracking) open-water swim, a test of bike-handling skills as more experienced triathletes whizzed past, and an overeager surge out of T2 on the run. Though the experience can be thrilling, it can also be terrifying—and keep many potential triathletes away from the sport.

Give yourself a protein boost by trying any of these protein cookies—each of which are editor tested (you’re welcome).
A post-workout cookie isn’t a bad nutritional choice, as long as it’s packed with protein (like these baked treats) and carbs.
