Food Funnies
A friend recently said to me that I was infamous for my photos of big smiling faces in front of platefuls of food. I found this quite amusing, and on reflection probably true. When I look at my photos, I see they are mostly my post-race “junk” food binges! I think a psychologist might have something to say about that! ha! For me it’s all about “cor, look at this- isn’t this the tastiest thing you’ve ever seen??!!!”
Here are some of my favourites to make you smile.
I'd been craving Bratwurst all week in Roth! Post Challenge Roth 08
- Baked Poetry Cafe special brekkie treat post Ironman China in April 09
- A FEAST in Bali post IMWA in Dec 09. This food was beautiful, just A LOT!
- Urth Cafe in Venice LA after IM Lake Placid in 07- that has to be one of the best fruit pies I’ve ever eaten!
- Look at the SIZE of it! Oahu North Shore, post Kona 09.
- Now I’m stuffed!
- I only ate one! Honest! At Philippines 70.3 Media conference- post race!
Crepes in Roth 09- I don't think this was post-race!
I think most athletes let their hair down post IM, and the 90/10 balance gets pretty tipped! I get over it pretty quickly and start craving fruits and vegies. It’s good whilst it lasts. I think what’s really important is that you give yourself a mental break, and not be so strict for a few weeks. The key is to not allow it to go on for too long! Set yourself some new goals, and keep moving. Physically it’s the worst time for eating junk since training is low to none, but great for the soul…
Enjoy
