Discussion: Grass

It's the worst! At this time of year, I wear calf sleeves to protect my legs, not so much for compression. That still doesn't cover everything though. In your area, some of the big plants are poison ivy - especially around the Bruce - so I sometimes wear capris too.

Pro Tip, btw: After an expedition race, you're supposed to eat 5,000 calories a day, watch movies on the couch, leave your muddy bike in the box for a month, and browse the Internet for your next event while at the same time saying you'll never do it again.

You're not doing it right.

It's awful, eh?! My entire belly was one giant give. It's starting to do down but I was soooo irritated. My poor brother called at the wrong time too.

I know! Sigh. I miss Bob!!

Ps I think the thought of 5000 calories scares me!

5000 cals. Isn't that second breakfast?! :-)

Here are some ideas for you.

Yikes!

In SA, the night before the race I accidentally ordered a pizza called 'Swaziwomen' which was a double decker pizza and likely 5000+ cals (and not paleo ;))! It was ridiculous. Mike was smart and took some of the leftovers on the racecourse which wasn't so ridiculous when he pulled it out after the first 8 hours!

I hope someone got a picture of your face when it arrived!

The thought of only 5000 calories scares me too. #NotEnufDonuts
