On a course yesterday and sensibly knowing that there would be tempatation there I went into work first to eat my porridge and cranberries. It meant I turned up and just had a coffee rather than anything else.

First break I had a 1/2 danish, 1/2 muffin and 1/2 croissant.
Second break a full scone and a kitkat.
Also had 8-9 cups of coffee through the day

11.25km run last night as pennance.

i hope you are not suggesting coffee is something to feel guilty about....coffee is GOOD for endurance and that's final. God sake leave me with some guilt free pleasures in this life:(

I just had a big Mac and strawberry milkshake, and I liked it a lot!

Trig1 · 29-06-2012 8:09pm

funniest thread ever... i'm trying to figure out a way to buy and smuggle 2 new 60mm carbon clincher wheels into the house and onto my bike without the wife noticing!!!, i'm also training hard and wondering why the weight is so reluctant to fall off, wondering has it anything to do with the litre of coke, snickers ice cream and large bag of chilli doritos I have most nights watching tv...i'm a coke and taytoaholic

:(:(

Daz1214 · 29-06-2012 11:04pm

a bowl of ice cream with banana and butterscotch sauce for evening treat...and im racing in athlone tomorrow!!!

BTH · 29-06-2012 11:35pm

Pizza Hut the night before TriAthlone. Sure I'll be grand......

Daz1214 · 29-06-2012 11:43pm

at least im not the only one

Daz1214 · 01-07-2012 12:24pm

KFC on the way home from athlone then a bag of maynards sport mix, 2 terrys chocolate orange bars and a litre bottle of bulmers...oops!!

shotgunmcos · 01-07-2012 8:09pm

supposed to do 4hr bike today. went helping sister set up wedding gazebo etc and now glued to IMAT finish video waiting for the throng of LTC doing in to dribble in. Some good results so far, One girl running 1st in her AG, another lad is going to be worryingly close to the cut off 17hr and I'm literally praying for him here... Sod the damn long bike, I'm welling up with emotional motivation watching this... I'll happily do the f"%kin thing at 3am if I have to next time...

Bambaata · 01-07-2012 9:04pm

No training in 3 days and no desire to either! Pizza, beer and football right now.

Avoided a muddy trail, on a trail run, as I didn't want to get my road shoes muddy. Ran on the road instead.

tunney · 02-07-2012 10:41am

Three days on the lash (wine, cider, beer), two burgers, one kebab, three pizzas. No non alcholic fluids in three days.

best weekend of my life........

nerraw1111 · 02-07-2012 10:56am

Is that a smile or a grimace?

rainbow kirby · 02-07-2012 10:57am

Plenty of Faustino VII while watching the match last night. Nailed my colours to the mast in my wine glass, I regret nothing.

But Fosters?! That's your confession right there.

Two days of beer and surfing for me, but I did get my absolution by running from Fisher Street in Doolin to the Visitor's Centre at the Cliffs of Moher and back again, in horrendous winds that threatened to strangle me with my own headphone wire. Definitely some Opus Dei self-flagellation right there.

Woah, you were listening to an iPod? :eek:

Nope, it's a Sansa Clip! And I listen to it all of the time. Except when heading uphill towards the Cliffs of Moher, where the ear-buds were like mini-kites, hovering on the wind a foot behind me.

average_runner · 02-07-2012 1:30pm

A visit to Avoca and one of their cakes! Well my pregnant wife went up and picked it out, as doesnt like choc when pregnant and can have meringue!

She picked the biggest cream sponge cake slice i ever seen!!! There was some fruit though:rolleyes:

Inlaws called over last night, and a a slice of carrot cake with icing!!!

bryangiggsy · 02-07-2012 1:57pm

Went on the abs batter for my mates stag at the Derby on Saturday. Really needed it. Ate and drank all day......beer..burgers..chocolate..fizzies...vodka.
Rest day aka dying yesterday

One thing i havelearned from this thread......we are all what we eat. Not many guys at the pointy end posting on here.

My other observation is a lot of runners reading the tri forum still.

connundrum · 02-07-2012 3:00pm

Went to Poland for the Euro's.

Haven't done a tap since I got back.

My hand only stopped shaking involuntarily late last week

Give me strength to start up again this week!!

Hanley · 02-07-2012 4:59pm

Haven't trained since an easy 10 minute run on Tuesday. Spent Wednesday - Friday on the bed/couch with chills and headaches, still wasn't fit Saturday/Sunday. Serious battle to do anything today.

...and that's after only getting 2/3 training sessions in the week previous thanks to an MCL strain. FML.

You mean the triathlon/duathlon/adventure racing forum? Perhaps we're all budding adventurers.

The truth is that most of us were raised in catholic Ireland and we're enticed by the thoughts of some juicy confessions. Where better to get our fix, but from the pie-eaters on the triathlon forum.

RacoonQueen · 03-07-2012 12:15pm

Getting a new kitchen in. Will be without a kitchen for a week. Set to live off take aways. Confessing in advance.

If I'd been given advance notice of the date I'd have cooked up pies, lasagne and what not at the weekend and gotten a lend of a microwave. Having the fridge and contents of the presses in the sitting room might be a bit dangerous...

ring of kerry on sat and have had Chinese more times this month than cycles .Dow

Dory Dory · 04-07-2012 1:47am

I just found this thread......if we are talking crap food, I'm in!!!
Yesterday I had to take my bike for service over lunch and didn't have time to eat my usual proper mid-day fare of tuna fish and ice-cream, so instead I ate mass quantities of M&Ms.....and yes, in 96 degree weather they DO melt in your hands.

shotgunmcos · 04-07-2012 12:01pm

Off work yesterday, spent a few hours at her instruction browsing the web for disc wheel wedding venue options...

Leg hair grows fast. Bring a razor you'll need to shave again before Sunday.
