Angriest Trainer 309: Andrea Kooiman
Today’s One-on-One interview is with Andrea Kooiman.  Andrea is an ultra athlete.  She is also a wife, mother, coach, ultra runner and outdoor enthusiast.  This is her second time joining Vinnie on “America’s Angriest Trainer” podcast.  Andrea just recently finished the Badwater 135 which is considered the most demanding and extreme running race on the planet.  Vinnie and Andrea talk about her experience doing Badwater including what she ate and what worked for her.
Badwater 2014
A grueling race based on temperature and elevation
Started NSNG only 2 months before race
Vinnie was concerned about her doing Badwater
Could she stay NSNG for the whole race?
How Did Race Go?
Crew was supposed to write down everything she consumed, including medication, but they didn’t
Her husband was her crew chief who is also in charge of making the decision to DNF
Could not follow NSNG for the race
Had diarrhea and vomiting...every 2 miles had to stop
Occurred around 50 mile mark (9-11 hours)
Andrea Wanted to Lose Weight Before Race
Her husband felt she needed to eat carbs
But Andrea went cold turkey and did NSNG...first 2 weeks were difficult
Didn’t count calories and was never hungry
She lost the weight
After Badwater
After race she was celebrating...ate whatever she wanted --- Burgers, buns, fries, alcohol, sweets
She felt awful - bloated, sweaty and was starving even though she had just eaten
Why?  After all the preparation and training came the question “What’s next?”
So she felt she would “celebrate” before she answering such a big question
