Apart form the typical post race challenges including but not limited to aches, pains, stiffness, lethargy, tiredness, etc...another exists.Triathletes by nature eat a lot and often. This means that a proportionate amount of time must be spent adequately stocking the supplies of sustenance. We have our weekly Whole Foods runs, Target run, Costco run, Sprouts run then routine trips to King Soopers and Safeway to get anything that we have either missed or already consumed.
Race week is a struggle as we all have busy schedules, family, work, travel, whatever...so often times the grocery shopping at a minimum is done haphazardly but often gets overlooked. Fast forward to two days after a race. Pulling together a meal that is fun, tasty and nutritionally balanced is a stretch.
Last night, I not only rocked it...I cleaned out the refrigerator. Menu as follows:
- A salad consisting of spinach/romaine; a Jazz apple; a handful of blueberries; walnuts; blue cheese and a semi-wilty yellow bell pepper, topped with a balsamic vinegar infused with mandarin and cracked pepper that K got from a co-worker in 2007 for Christmas.
- Add to that 2 BBQ'd chicken breasts for a sweet and savory delight.
- As the baby bella mushroom tops and brocollini were also headed for very wilty, I worked out a rosemary-garlic reduction for them which was also splendid.

our fridge needs cleaning, too... fyi.
Maybe you could make extra money as the Go-To Leftover Chef--people could send you a list of items and you could virtually create a meal for them!
Also, you and K should put ads on your blogs. It's easy and I have known people who made BANK doing that!
Also, I wanted to tell you I liked your song selections. I have been looking for new music and found it on your blog! (Oh! and I have never checked out your blog before--impressive! You and K are PROLIFIC!)
