Carbs vs Protein

Tues 5/20: Today I rode my bike for 1 1/2 hours focusing on 2 20 min intervals with my hr in the 150s-160s. I then did a 1/2 hr trail run with my hr in the 160s. I was pretty tired after my workout. I came home with just 20 minutes before I needed to pick up Scott from school and was hurrying to eat, stretch, and shower within that time frame. I focused on getting some protein to replenish my muscles and so ate a pork and vegetable kabob along with some pineapple.
By the time I got to Scott's school (a 15 min drive) I felt completely sick. I had a horrendous headache and got nauseous and started sweating all over. It was all I could do to drive back home. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. After explaining the situation to Rich, he asked what I had eaten after my workout. When I told him he was not surprised I had gotten so sick as I basically had not eaten any carbs. He said the post workout carbs to protein ratio should be 7:1. I was glad to find a simple answer and also surprised that I didn't already know this. Normally I have carbs after a workout, partly because they are so accessible-- a P & J sandwich, Cliff bars, etc. Once again I've had to relearn a basic training lesson.

I am planning to post about the Women's Tri after I get some pictures. We went with the family to TGIFriday's for Heidi's birthday dinner and had a nice time. Yesterday a paraglider crashed into the side of the mountain behind our house. We watched the rescue quite closely. From the report of other people, it looks like he had a shoulder injury, but his head was fine as he was wearing a helmet. The Life Flight and News helicopters were flying for a long time. I wondered how the little fox family was doing with all that noise. I was surprised that with all that coverage I didn't see anything about it in the Des News or the KSL website.
