Interesting (your weight loss experience). I have NOT experienced it. In fact, I think my weight went up after one race - I point my finger at too many bars during the race followed by a heaping pile of seared protein after the race.
I think more than anything cutting out the sugar and increasing the protein is what my body has been waiting for. I jumped on the scale today and it hasn't budged up. Definitely an individualized thing at a certain point.
I would be interested in your race schedule, but Mr Husband is having bone-spur removal surgery on Oct. 7, so we're racing to get things done by then and then clearing the calendar for the rest of October.
BUT.... post your race schedule for after the new year. I'm up for tri's and 1/2 marathons. A bunch of my co-workers are doing the Kaiser 1/2 in San Francisco, which is probably in February. I'd cheerfully add more to my schedule or replace it with something else.
