After an olympic distance race or longer, I typically lost ~5lbs.
I'd be all "Yeah baby!!! I lost weight!!!" and my coach would go "Sorry, it'll be back." Sadly, she was right; over the next two weeks or so I'd gain it back. YMMV.
BTW, if you want to race more, you're welcome to join me: Mermaid duathlon Sept 26 (Santa Cruz, sprint duathlon, there is also a triathlon option) and Silicon Valley Half Marathon (Oct 31). You could also talk me into Harper's Ferry Duathlon (a sprint distance du in lovely Harper's Ferry, CA) on Nov 14. Let me know if interested. G
