Post race nutrition

Well all,
Just interested to know what you guys would have as your post triathlon recovery food/drink?

Been doing Sprint distances for the past two years and have never really looked into this.

After a sprint distance do you actually need anything above and beyond normal food?

Yazoo for protein and carbs

BTH

Some races lay on a fairly tasty burger afterwards. That always goes down well. They're the races I like to go back to the following year

Massive slab of lasagne and a pile of salty spuds after the Humbert in Swinford, nom-nom-nom.

Oryx

I eat whatever the body wants, which varies wildly, and sometimes its nothing at all if gels have disagreed with me. (Though I dont take gels for sprint distance).
