Stage 3: November 15th - 2 mile swim in Starke, 68 mile bike (from Starke to Palm Coast), 13.1 mile run in Palm Coast. I have intentions on fully sharing this entire experience from start to finish on social media ( Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition  and  Trimarni ), but I thought I'd share how I am planning for this 3-day event.  Food Most importan...
