On Saturday evening I ate pizza for the first time in a while. On Sunday morning I had one of the best swim practices in a while. So much energy! Swam 4500m and spent another half hour mucking around practicing SDK's, turns, etc....just didn't want to get out of the water.
Just wondering if the pizza and the increase in energy were related in any way or was it purely coincidental? Does pizza perhaps have the perfect protein to carbohydrate ratio?
It was a three cheese, thin crust Magherita with a sprinkling of smoked sausage. There wasn't a lot of cheese either. Just the right amount. Had a glass of Coca Cola with it. The only time I ever drink coke is when I eat pizza or BBQ.
Anyone had a similar experience or have a different favourite energy-giving meal.

Pizza is great any time of the day. I learned this in college when I was saving money from eating Ramen all day. I could afford pizza on the weekend when it wasn't spent on beer.
I go for Lou Malnatti's or Ginos for sure. Gotta love Chicago pizza.
As far a pre-race...there is no helping me swim faster or slower. I eat whatever I want as long as I like it.
