Post-Triathlon Weight Gain

I’m 99% sure that last weekend’s triathlon was the last multisport race of the year for me. And my body didn’t take long to realize that.

Pretty much all summer, I’ve been floating at 159-161 lbs. I don’t weigh myself every day, but here’s when I did 2 days before the race:

160.8 = pretty standard.

Then a day after the race, I was up 2 pounds:

162.8 = on the higher end of “average,” but OK.

Then somehow (magically), I gained almost another 3 lbs in 24 hours:

165.4 = my highest weight all summer.

It’s cool. Triathlon season is over. I can gain a little weight. I’ve run the math - if I keep this up, I’ll only be 318 lbs by Christmas. I can work some of that off in the new year.
