    Well all,
    Just interested to know what you guys would have as your post triathlon recovery food/drink?

    Been doing Sprint distances for the past two years and have never really looked into this.

    After a sprint distance do you actually need anything above and beyond normal food?

    Some races lay on a fairly tasty burger afterwards. That always goes down well. They're the races I like to go back to the following year :D

    Massive slab of lasagne and a pile of salty spuds after the Humbert in Swinford, nom-nom-nom.

    I eat whatever the body wants, which varies wildly, and sometimes its nothing at all if gels have disagreed with me. (Though I dont take gels for sprint distance).
