Finders Aug 2008 8:05am, 7 Aug 2008 1,212 posts	Quote Pin Finders What do you mean EP? After 18days in France i gained 3.5lbs whilst eating anything i wanted and doing very little actual training Lots of walking, swimming in the sea and just one run, but no actual training. Since my return on Tuesday i have been very good food wise, making very healthy choices and have done one bike session and 1 swim session and have lost the 3.5lbs, thankfully! 18days off training and massive carb/lard loading didn't affect my times at all. My swim this week was better than usual and my bike ALOT quicker. I think it did me good to concentrate on relaxing or a while. I have a new motivation to lose weight and to train (but nothing too strenuous you understand)

DrBob Aug 2008 7:02pm, 7 Aug 2008 1,127 posts	Quote Pin DrBob i like the sound of it too. I can certainly do the boozing and cake eating and it sounds a lot easier than fretting about it while banging out 70-80 mile weeks which is something like wot I have been doing. skived out of my race this evening, wot a wuss eh?!
