Great minds and chocolate milk!

I was reading the module of my Sports Medicine course on nutrition and muscle recovery today, and read that carbohydrate/protein drinks are the ideal post race supplement. When I emailed this to Paul saying that we would make them milkshakes he responded with a message he sent to Patrick today about drinking chocolate milk! The interesting question is not whether the runners need post run supplementing, that is beyond doubt, but whether the sailors can justify it. We after all will be doing continuous low grade exertion for four days or so. I think continuous low grade eating is the answer. Tea and flapjacks on the hour?
