After the night with Eilis, there was some discussion about organising another evening event. “Nutrition for swimmers” was the topic being suggested. At first I thought it would be a very good idea. Then I considered the group of swimmers we have in Myrtleville. To be fair, if it’s one thing they’re experts on – it’s their own nutrition.
There’s no way they’ll miss out on the key 45 minute post-swim window to replenish the food supply to the muscles. They’d hardly miss 45 seconds.

Pat Lowry ensuring that the ‘golden window’ for post-swim nutrition isn’t missed. Feed ’em on the beach, says Pat.
If anyone is feeling a weakness on the way home after all the sausages and cake, just have some Smash pre-made and ready for when you come in the door. That’ll fill you up.
