When Ironman gives you lemons…
WRITTEN BY: theWongstar WRITTEN ON: June 29. 2010you make a Haamonii strawberry lemonade recovery slushy! 
They never said doing Ironman was easy and when you’re racing one practically every month like I am, it’s important not only to celebrate the ups and downs but to make sure you rehydrate and replenish your electrolytes after this all-day endurance affair!
Last weekend I competed at Ironman Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, taking 12th in the professional women’s category. It wasn’t my best performance but I am still learning quite a bit as a rookie pro, and am always proud of every finish. Here I am during the best part of the race, finishing the very last stretch of the 140.6 miles:
Wongstar finishes IM CDA, heading straight for a recovery drink!
Best of all, after the race, was figuring out the perfect recipe for a tasty recovery drink using Haamonii, the #1 choice of triathlon superstars! It’s almost like an ICEE or Slurpee, only better for you… in so many ways. 
Wongstar’s Haamonii Strawberry Lemonade Recovery Slushy
Ingredients:
5 large fresh California strawberries
2 cups of ice
1 tablespoon lemon-lime Gatorade powder
4 ounces Haamonii Smooth Lemon
Directions:
Cut the stems off the strawberries and throw them (the strawberries, not the stems!) in the blender along with everything else. Blend until smooth, pour and serve! Remember to pour for others and not self
Nutrition:
makes 2 x 12oz servings (75 calories each)
or 3 x 8oz servings (50 calories each)
or a nice large 24oz serving that is still only 150 calories!
I must admit this encouraged me to rehydrate myself much more than I usually would. Next on the schedule will be Ironman Lake Placid in New York on July 25th. You can see my full schedule here. Thanks for your support and remember to enjoy your Haamonii responsibly and share it with friends!
