There is lots of research done on the post-race blues.
Well, I got em.
But not the kind they study.
Mine...is about the food.
I have held on to an extra 4lbs all week. (and does show! and I am still hanging onto that 7 I put on over the winter, too)
I am drinking my water watching my coworkers eat ice cream cake while my body is asking for the afternoon meal.
This is no fun.

Thank god I am not alone! I got on the scale today and about had a heart attack! You would think we would have lost weight burning all those calories, yet for some reason I seem to have added about 4lbs also. We had a big luncheon at work today and my principal said it must be great to be a triathlete and eat whatever you want... ha ha, don't I wish!
You are SO not alone. I too am in the xtra lbs category. I've read that muscles retain water while they are healing. So, hopefully next week.
muscle weighs more than fat! You been building those muscles, girl. Your body is in major recovery mode now, I say feed it what it wants--you'll burn off alot of it on the cap to cap.
Ladies....
Listen to Kate O - she is right. Muscle does way more than fat, so rejoice in your strong, awesome muscles. You all just finished a half-ironman - so give yourselves a pat on the back, not a critical slap.
FYI - I do not own a scale and never, ever weigh myself.
