12 miles at Longview Lake today - we enjoyed it. It was a nice trail with less hills than yesterday. Nice scenery, too.
Brother Nicolai recently provided the following advice:
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after a workout, eat some food that has both carbohydrate and protein, in a ratio of roughly 4:1 carb:protein. This speeds recovery. PLEASE NOTE! This is most effective *immediately after* a workout... I'm talking the second you finish. It's slightly less effective after 30 minutes. After one hour, it's way less effective. And after two full hours, the body isn't even receptive to nutrients. So eat something as soon as possible.
So we had some chicken tacos, a banana, pretzels, and Gatorade immediately after, as per referenced brotha. Results - terrific. Anyone that doesn't eat immediately after a ride must not know the difference between straight up and stick 'em.

Ever heard of a camelbak hydration pack?
Solves the solution of having to wait until your workout is over to soak in those nourishing nutrients.
Here's my camelback cocktail:
1 can of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli
Note: Make sure you don't buy the overstuffed ravioli as it will mess up Brother Nicholie's 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein.
8 cans of Red Bull
Note: For energy and rehydration.
1 zip lock bag of your own DNA
Note: This includes hair, flaked off dry skin, your used Kleenexes and any sweat you can collect between rides. Working out takes a lot out of you and this will put you back inside of you.
Blend all ingredients together and enjoy!
I don't even understand the joke you're trying to make.
No joke my friend. Just good clean living.
I will admit that I occasionally get lazy and use Chef Boyardee's Beefaroni when I run out of the raviolis. But I definitely pay the price in taste and texture as I'm sure you can imagine.
