Hello everyone,
I am a bit confused, I lost a air amount of weight. Before my race (Spartan Beast Race 25 km uphill) I weight myself and I was 169 lbs. I ate pasta before the race and had 1/2 ribs and 1 beer after the race.
I weight myself (2 days after, I have still legs pain) and I am 173 lbs. during the ace I sent 3900 calories... What am i missing ????

Thanks
