Would you like the chance to meet one of America’s greatest cyclists? Kristin Armstrong may not be as
famous as the other cycling Armstrong but her palamres may be more rounded then the other Armstrong. There’s no relationship between Lance and Kristin, they have never been married nor are the related, just both great cyclists.
Kristin won the Gold last year in Olympic Time Trial as well as world champion in 2006.
Starting life as a military brat she grew up in Tennessee, California, and Japan. Swimming was her first sport leading to her competing in the Iron Man Triathlon. She was diagnosed with osteoarthritis which forced her onto the bike first as therapy and now a career.
It’s her love of peanut’s that will bring her to New York City next Thursday March 5th. The National Peanut Board will be in town to rebuild the trust with consumers. Armstrong will be at Grand Central Station in Vanderbilt Hall talking about her use of peanut butter as part of her training diet.
One of my favorite snacks at a rest stop on a charity ride or at home after is a banana and a jar of peanut butter. Each fresh bite gets another tablespoon of peanut butter. If I don’t have a banana I use a jam filled energy bar and make an instant PB&J.
Joining Armstrong will be Food Network’s Michael Symon, peanut farmers, and other manufactures. Free samples will be handed out, so if you take the train in or out of the city check it out. For more information about Kristin click here.
