I rode down to watch the Menlo Park crit today. Along the way there & back I passed about a million food places that looked enticing, a few of which I've been to and others that I've been scoping. I decided that today was a day that I would stay fueled by stopping & eating whenever I felt hungry. And so...
6:30 am Panaderia La Mexicana (24th St, San Francisco) - 1 pan dulce ($1)
8:00 am Pamplemousse (Broadway St, Redwood City) - 1 cinnamon brioche, 1 latte ($5)
11:30 am Jimenez Taqueria (Broadway St, Redwood City) - 1 al pastor taco ($1)
11:45 am Chavez Supermarket (Arguello St, Redwood City) - 1 al pastor taco w guacamole ($2.50)
12:15 pm Alana's (Burlingame Ave, Burlingame) - 1 chocolate chip scone ($2.50)
12:45 pm Tacos Toñito (Huntington Ave, San Bruno) - 2 carnitas tacos ($2)
1:30 pm Philz Coffee (24th St, San Francisco) - 1 turkish coffee ($3)
Sort of an expensive ride, as it turns out... but my taste buds were very happy and I felt fantastic the whole ride. I wonder if they can start handing out roasted pork in the feed zone at races.
But a good one:
romaine
cherry tomatoes
red pepper
cucumber
dried cranberries
almonds (warmed in the toaster oven)
goat cheese
chicken breast
TJ's sesame soy ginger vinaigrette
On the side:
whole wheat pita
hummus
All told: 635 calories (47:24:29 carb/prot/fat). It's a recovery day, so this was slightly lower carb than usual. The salad was good, but I feel like eating a loaf of bread right now.
Toasted english muffin, buttered
1 egg white, scrambled
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
Do not skip the butter- this makes it delicious!
Here's one I just concocted:
cut up banana
cut up orange
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
tbsp honey
285 calories (82:15:3 carb/prot/fat)... pretty awesome post-workout snack. The yogurt/honey combo is particularly nice.
Most days I make myself a turkey sandwich for lunch. Lately I've been adding little enhancements to keep it from getting boring. Here's what it looks like today-
whole wheat pita
turkey
havarti cheese
spicy hummus
cucumbers
cream cheese
cherry tomatoes
spouts
It is awesome!
7:30 this morning I rolled up to the stoplight at Irving/19th with my race bike and full team kit on. A lady in the crosswalk looked me up and down, paused a beat, and then addressed me directly.
Lady: You kinda look like Lance.
Me: Yup, just less successful...
Lady: And less wimpy! He dumped her when he had cancer!
