After an "A" race I get a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese

typically everything in sight. but usually i will hammer down a giant burger with a beer and ice cream to top it off

Always McDonalds on the drive home. After that it's deck time with a cigar and some booze, and more booze.

Better question is what doesn't get eaten

The biggest greasiest cheeseburger with everything on it. 5-Guys if there's one in the area. In a pinch I'll go for a double Whopper.

it is weird that i never really have much of an appetite after,including the day after, my IMs. I think the halves too. don't take in much nutrition on course either. maybe it is an "old" thing.

good for pre-race nerves too.

Sprint, olympic or half-mary: Breakfast burrito or some sort of breakfast combo that includes eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancakes.

Marathon: Burger, fries, beers.

Honu 70.3: Post race party food & beers on the beach (included with race fees)

Oceanside 70.3: In N Out

Austin 70.3: BBQ...pulled pork & baby backs from a roadside stand

Ironman Arizona 2008: In N Out

Ironman Switzerland 2011: Domino's Pizza delivered to the lobby for about $100 (no restaurants were open on Sunday evening).

Ironman Los Cabos 2014: Room service Burger, Fries & French Onion soup (all that was available at he resort)

Ironman Cairns 2014: Steak & Baked Potato with 3 beers.

Me too! Food is normally the last thing I want after a hard race.

I drank a can of Mountain Dew right after a race thinking the sugar would help me out...I can say that it tasted almost the same coming back up.

pay 700$ for ironman... can only afford to eat at mcdonalds or other fastfood artery clogging dumops. lol.

I go to an all you can eat brazilian steak house or nice brunch place.

Watermelon and German beer because that's what's usually available at the finish at local German races.

I used to be a vegetarian. I noticed that I'd CRAVE a burger pattie like nothing else after any really long run in hot weather. That burger pattie would be the only thing I could think of in the last stretch of the run. So I promised myself that after a marathon or whatever A race it was I was training for, I'd go to McDonalds afterwards and indulge. I've stuck with that tradition for 15 years now: McDonalds after every big race. I've had McDonalds in Cape Town, South Africa; Alexandria, Egypt; Yeovil and Buntingford, UK; France (Medoc? - can't remember); Copenhagen, Denmark; Vancouver, Canada, and every time I've gone to races in the US. My husband and I have this deal where the person who did the race gets to talk about the race ad nauseaum. It's been fun to experience different McDonalds in different countries - mindboggling how uniform they are and how little a common language matters when you're ordering! - and to have something we consider our own little tradition.

Anyway, I usually skip the post-race food right after I finish and wait until we get to a McDonalds. Then it's a Quarter-Pounder meal.

I am with ya Kathy. I always want to be hungry after a race and make big plans for this beer and that food but never feel hungry after.

At the finish line of any race, if available, watermelon. I don't ever really feel like eating much after a race of any distance, assuming I am racing it and not just participating.

A few hours afterwards? Whatever I might normally eat.

Beer. A pile of hottttt chicken wings. Beer. Waffle fries. Beer. Then usually hit up some frozen yogurt or something in the evening.

I miss this. When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, and raced O'side every year, we always stopped at the In-N-Out on hiway 76 on the way home.

Pretty much everything that's not nailed down.

Not sure why you directed this at me...especially since I didn't say anything about McDonalds (haven't been to one in years).

You must be out there a really long time if brunch places are already open when you finish an Ironman.

I've found that my choices are a bit limited after an Ironman. Once I finish, grab a bit of the post-race food, get a massage, collect my bike, transition bags, get back to the hotel and grab a quick shower, the options are somewhat limited...especially on Sunday.

For instance, in Cairns the race started at 7:45 AM, I finished just before 8:45 PM, I was ready for dinner about 10-ish. The Brazilian Steakhouse was closed and the closest open restaurant was in the casino...where I had a steak. I had a great breakfast & dinner the next day.

10-piece bucket of KFC!! extra crispy, gotta go to the restaurant and eat it while it's hot!
