As mentioned in my last post, after Geelong Elaine and I became more interested in drinking wine than training. Last Saturday Elaine went on a chocolate tour where she not only ate a lot of chocolate (and drank some more wine), but also learnt how to make Belgium style chocolates. Every night since then, Elaine has made a batch of chocolates as she tries to perfect this new art. And of course I've had to help her out by eating these chocolates (life's tough sometimes).Injuries don't heal as quickly when consuming alcohol and sugary foods. So no surprises that my sore achilles and Elaine's sore hamstring from the Geelong race were still sore. With the State Championship Sprint Race this Sunday, we decided to abstain from alcohol and sugary foods this week.
Last Sunday night we had our usual Lamb Roast, so obviously that required a bottle of red wine. Then on Monday night Elaine cooked up a beautiful steak on the Webber - would have ruined the meal without another bottle of red. Tuesday night we arrived home quite late from training and had chicken for tea - finally we resisted temptation (Elaine doesn't care much for white wine). With this new found will power we survived Wednesday, Thursday and Friday alcohol free. Unfortunately this strength of will did not flow through to our chocolate comsumption as we polished off a batch every night.
