So, I was talking with a friend who has gotten into MR from being around me too much and reading Born to Run....
We both like beeer and wine once in a while...
He said that he was road racing once and a fellow biker shared a water bottle with him, because my friend was empty... Turns out the bottle had WHITE WINE in it.... The biker apologized for giving him the wrong bottle, as the biker was SAVING IT FOR HIS FATIGUE POINT (or certain point along the course i.e. the wall in a marathon)...
Turns out some folks in Europe use a bit of wine or beer at a certain point to RELAX... an gives them some calories...
I tried a bit of white wine after my 16 miles this past weekend... (less than 4 oz., as too much will probably goober things up ,eh?!?) IT WORKED MARVELOUSLY!!! Relaxes and Dreamy!!!
So, later that day... I knew I was pushing the envelope... I went mountain biking (or sand-box biking as I call it in the L.P. of Michigan) with the friend stated above... We had a celebratory beer afterwards, and I felt FABULOUS!!!
NOTE: these small amounts of alcohol were also consumed with other fluids and solid food....
I'm thinking about stashing some on my long run this weekend at mile 18 [of 20]... and having a smidge DURING my Spring Marathon...
Whatayathink?
