On the subject of carb-loading

In recent times I have come to the belief that during the carb-loading period it is not all about stuffing your face with pasta, sweets and the like using it an excuse to eat as much as you want, when you want.

It is however about resting as much as you can, eating normally, maybe reducing your protien intake but just enjoy the chance to have some tasty food. Whilst doing my decorating today Mrs S came back with a lovely freshly baked loaf of Tiger bread, absolutely gorgeous with fresh salad and a boiled egg.

I can feel the rest and food working as the aches are starting to appear in my legs and stiffening up a little. Tomorrow I prepare my kit pile :-)
