If you just had a race, and on the way back home just go by a taco bell, wendys, or whatever your hungry for. Diet after a race isn't nearly as important as before, thats what you should be concerned about. _________________ MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT! HUH!

After an hour or so: pasta or other food with lots of carbohydrates, also a fair amount of meat and again energy drink or water. Drinking enough is very important after a race or hard training.

After a race, I drink this while cooling down. Shortly thereafter, I have some recovery drink. Right now, I'm back to SmartFuel's BioFix, as that seems to work really well for me.

On the phase that I know that I am satisfied with my muscles I add a few grams of protein to my drink to avoid too much muscle (catabolic) breakdown.

I use lactose free, fat free milk, mostly because my body doesn't produce any lactase any more, but it also keeps a lot longer in the refrig and doesn't cause mucous problems. And I don't like a lot of fat post ride (except for sour cream & onion potato chips if it's hot outside).

A mars bar or bannana staight after the race so I have the energy to get home ( tend to bonk on the way home), pasta for dinner. Fat slows the digestive process so I try to minimise my intake. But I try to eat energy as I race Sat and Sun if I can. Brian

For the energie supply at long distances your body use the protein of your muscles too.

The rest of the drink "yust goes down the drain" _________________ Quote: 'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'

The absorption rates you mentioned are for water, sports drinks absorb through the gut much faster, so are better at rehydrating and providing calories. Any consumption in excess of absorption rate will just sit in the gut till absorbed. _________________ Success is how far you you bounce back up after being knocked down

The extra's are absorbed fast, The fluid takes a bit longer. _________________ Quote: 'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
