Duathlon and a lack of food

So full time work is busy... Surprisingly so. I get home in the evenings and it feels like I sit down and all of a sudden its time to sleep. I really don't know where the time goes and the level of darkness these days makes it always feel later than it is.

As such my cooking style has changed. These days I tend to cook one big meal a couple of times a week and then eat it for lunch/dinner until it runs out. I think the next thing I'm making will be cabbage soup, I'm looking forward to trying the recipe I got from my colleague.

Despite not cooking much my meals are all pretty healthy (with the exception of this week where I went out to TGI Fridays and ate my weight in ribs on monday and tonight when I destroyed a massive chinese...). I'm making a lot of things like soup, veggie chilli/bolognaise and the odd curry.

I made this earlier in the week, and I've got to say it's amazing. I made a few changes, including cooking it in the pressure cooker, I'd forgotten just how much faster everything cooks in it. I have decided that I must make more use of it for interesting and quick meals.

As for the title of the post? Well tonight I took part in the VA triathlon, though I only did the duathlon (ie running and cycling). Overall time was 27:56 for 2.5km run and 10km cycle, given the lack of training I did I'm pretty happy. And I got a medal, so it was totally worth it.
