coffee hangover

Not sure if coffee hangovers exist, but I'm sure they do!
Saturday 24th Jan

As ever, Saturday morning has been reserved for swimming, and after a few practice runs, trialing my technique even further, I managed todays 34 lengths in a time of 30 mins, 40 secs. Front crawl all the way, although there were a few minor problems, and resting a bit more than I probably needed too, it was my best time yet, so its good to know its comming down.
Maybe not significantly, but nonetheless, its comming down!
carried on for a few lengths of breast stroke, and then went for a couple of fast lengths, but the cramp set in on my left calf! Not happy! that lasted a painful 30 or 40 seconds and was hard to get rid of, so decided to call it a day at that.Total swim time was about 90 mins.
I'd eaten porridge at about 8am, and two cups of coffee, then had a banana about 60 mins before the swim.
Think I'm going to have to up the carbs before the swim next time. And ensure I'm fully hydrated, which I assumed I was this morning.
Had a protein shake and another banana right after the swim, then came home for bacon, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, beans and a hash brown!
All my muscles have worked hard today and its time to realx watching the second footie match of the day!
