What do you crave after a long race. Personally i like iced tea, oranges, and a turkey hoagie.

Cheeseburger, french fries and a chocolate milkshake. I crave it after every race.

I seem to have a sequence.

1) Water
2) Watery fruit (watermelon or orange quarters are my favorite
3) Once thirst is quenched, chocolate! Snickers bar, thick gooey brownies, anything with chocolate and sugar!
4) Coke

That's a grand recovery sequence for me. Followed it at this years half mary and sprint tri. Can't go wrong!

Wendy's Frosty or Chocolate Milk Followed by anything full of carbos. Seriously I crave some hardcore carbs after a race/working out. I would demolish and entire loaf of bread if necessary!

Anything with TONS of sodium!

Buffalo wings and Mexican food are probably my first two options.

Chocolate milk is the best post-race drink.  Pizza has been the best thing I've eaten afterwards

I had this as my first food at roughly 3pm with my last food a small breakfast at 6am before my 1st triathlon.  I drove 100miles north of my triathlon to get it.  This is the Spanky's chicken tender basket in Savannah on River St!!!


I think I reversed any good I did that day.

I always have some peanut butter and salting crackers waiting for me in transition.
Then, the chocolate chip cookies that seem ubiquitous at all endurance events.
I like the following items as follow ups after my stomach settles a bit more:
Pizza
Scrambled Egg and bacon sandwich on a roll or croissant
Haagen Daz Mint Chip Dazzler (I almost never cave to this, but I dream about it!)

I very rarely eat red meat (no real reason, but it just doesn't enter my diet often), but after a race, I. WANT. MEAT. Usually in the form of a hamburger. Huge, piled high with pickles, cheese, ketchup, mustard, the whole nine. Oh, and french fries.
