"when your workout or race is really starting to suck and you start focusing on the one thing that you are totally going to gorge on when you're done to pull you through the last hour...what is it?"

Can't really say food or the thought of it has ever been something to pull me through. If I had to pick something though it would be an ice cold beer. Especially after a hot race day.

Food cravings never seem to get me to me during a workout. It more likely tho hit about a half hour after..... and then it's pizza and ice cream! Although, with my current calf problem and no running I'm keeping away from that stuff so I don't bulk up too much :) My kids would be with Tom on the Taco Bell craze so I end up there a lot too.... 7 layer burritos are awesome refuellers .... until you need to go on a long run the next day.

Tuna fish with diced up green olives and a little bit of mayo....mmmmmmm

(that is at this moment...just swam 4400 yeards, did upper body weights and 45 minute run.)

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I crave Popeye's spicy chicken with red beans and rice, cajun rice and mashed potato gravy on top of the cajun rice. I dip my biscuit in the red beans and rice. Wash it down with a 40oz. Colt 45 or King Cobra. Come to think of it, I think I know why I can't seem to lose that extra weight.

Never craved or thought about food while training. Usually it's "thank god, there's only 100 metres left to swim."

However, regular cravings are: McDonald's breakfast (sausage McMuffin with 2 hash browns mmmmm), chocolate fudge cookies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate ice cream, chocolate in general. The breakfasts I try to keep down to once only every 2 months, but the cookies or chocolate are usually daily, but in very small doses (one or two cookies, or one small chocolate like a turtle)

Now I think I have to go have a cookie. Damn you and your question!!!

Geez... I can hear some of these posters arteries harding from where I'm at

For me, I prefer a sugar high:

Apple pie, chocolate browny's and a strawberry/bannana shake as a chaser

... something about revolting in my adulthood... I find nothing wrong with desert before the main course.

FWIW Joe Moya

Salty Hawaiian food, kalua pig, with plenty rice. And for dessert, chocolate peanut butter shake.

Aloha

Depends on the time of day but...

A huge breakfast burrito with real bacon (I mean the thick stuff, almost a quarter inch, I have no idea where they get it) and fresh made salsa.

Quarter Pounder with Cheese

Jamba Juice Orange Berry Blitz

A Double Double with onions and pickles

And beer. Mmmmm beer. This one really hurts as I've made some stupid deal with myself to not drink until July 27th. Damn you Triathlon!!!

never really think about food. Cold drink, Jamba Juice Protein Berry Pizzaz for a quick refuel, then a nice shower. But then again I like nothing better than riding my bike for 6-8 hours in the mountains just for the hell of it. sucking is sitting in my office on a sunny day for 9 hours, any thing else is fantastic

"on your Left"

In-N-Out Double Double animal style, fries, and a choclate shake.. every Saturday after beating the crap outta my body in the Santa Monica mountains for 6 hours. Make it a 3x3 after races.. that's right, 3 paties and 3 slices of chesse.. yum!

make me home sick

I miss riding Stunt to Rambla Pacifica or up Latigo, or
Mullholland north of Malibu canyon up to the line shack in Ventura

"on your Left"

I've been climbing Latigo for weeks now with the LA Tri Club, fantastic climb.. Fernwood off of Topanga was recently repaved, steeper than Latigo but not as long.. comes down the backside on Stunt to Mullholand.. haven't climbed up Stunt. Might do Latigo, to Peter Strauss Ranch then up Stunt.. then down Fernwood.. that'll be some seriously brutal stuff. I never stay very long on Mullholand, should explore some more.

Wendy's single with cheese, biggie fries, Frosty.
Pizza works well too.

Funny it's greasy hamburgers and I never eat them

Ain't picky, just don't block the fridge.

donuts ice cream or soda
