Raw Caramel Peanut Crunch Bars

Okay, yummm. I'm calling them recovery food because they are full of carbs (dates) and protein (peanut butter). And, well, they're easy to make, grab and go; they're filling and they taste good. Tap to read more.

I did it! I'm an Ironman! What an amazing day! My A goal was 11:30 and I ended up with 11:34:22 and 8th in my age group! I loved nearly every minute of it! The swim was beautiful and I was fast, even after swimming an extra 500 yards. The bike was so beautiful winding through vineyards. The run... well the run was great until mile 20. At mile 19 I was thinking that I love this distance and maybe I should have rode the bike more aggressive because I feel great. Then mile 20 hit and it was a shit show from there. I slowed down but never walked and kept run/shuffling forward. My coach @marilyn_chychota said "after 20 miles it's what is ever left in your soul" and I think that's what it took to run those last miles. I'm super proud of my race especially for my first Ironman! I learned a lot and I can't wait to do it (but faster) at #imaz. .. Thank you to: - My amazing husband, @jcasap, for putting up with all my training, making sure Azella got to see her mama race and taking some amazing photos (like this one). - The hands down most amazing coach in the world! @marilyn_chychota is the reason I started triathlons in the first place. She turned a new mom that sort of swam, rode spin bikes, and ran 2 miles to CrossFit into a Ironman athlete with a long future in this sport. Because of her I was finally able to find and fuel the athlete I always wanted to be. I will forever be grateful for her help and friendship! - My parents that helped out with Azella while I trained and came to see me race. - Azella that believes her Mama can do anything and told me I should win my next Ironman. - @meredithswinehart for coming out and cheering me on - All my amazing friends and family that encouraged my Ironman journey and sent to many messages of support this week! I brought all that love today on the course! ... What a day! . . #imsr #ironmansantarosa #imsantarosa #ironmantri #triathlon #ironman #firstironman #triathlete #trimom #trimama #tri365 #swimbikerun #swimbikerunrace #ironmanjourney
