Saturday morning, Carbo loading was the main order of the day kicking off with some toast and honey, porridge and tea. Team harriers re grouped and headed down to Sidmouth to the local cake shop. After a few doughnuts, pastries and buns with several cups and tea, we were ready to make the journey back to Seaton to pop into race HQ and stop for lunch. We were a bit worried about actually feeling hungry and what that might feel like. Several rounds of sandwiches later we needed to recharge our batteries before heading back down the Dolphin in Beer for dinner and of course beer. As an example to our new Grizzilites, I ordered a Ham salad. On arrival, it contained half a pig, a farmers field worth of salad and a French stick. A few beers later it was time to retire and focus for a moment on the race and what we should eat for Breakfast.
Most of us were doing the Cub this year as the full race had got in the
way of previous year’s eating and drinking. Carbo loaded to the max, we
all seem to power round the course this year having had enough fuel to
launch a rocket. The weekend did set a new record…it was the only running
weekend where most of us seem to gain weight despite crawling up cliffs,
jogging along shingle beaches and being battered by the cold wind and
rain.
