The podium teams in the relay at the British University Orienteering Championships are always the ones on the lash the night before.
On Sunday, more of the podium were still covered in body paint from the night before than not!

Spot on BL! There was something in the papers a few weeks ago about the re-hydration benefits of proper beer. It's funny how many times in the afternoon after a long hard race I've felt crap - knackered, de-hydrated and sometimes nauseous - but after a bottle (or two) of quality beer I feel 100% better!
I've said it on here in a couple of other threads - a pint at the Hill Inn on the 3 peaks is the best way to get over Ingelborough in good nick. The cramps go away and you feel back to life.
one thing alcohol does do is kill your testosterone levels so that would contribute to you feeling sluggish and not having as much buzz. The same effect can be said about having sex before a race too. men more so than women need to use the testosterone for mental drive.
dont know where im going, dont know where ive been, all im doing is running, running to have fun.
Well, that's me stuffed then.
I can testify with current and first hand experience that booze inhibits my running abilities and motivation
yep I just went out for 10km round the park, and it hurt
I really enjoyed my post race shandy today!
