If you find yourself in Whitehouse Station, NJ and need a bite to eat, stop in at Bensi, a very respectable Italian chain restaurant. Why do I know this? Because Carolina, Jenna and I are crazy triathletes, that’s why. On a whim (and following a week of complete inactivity), we decided to do one more race in Jersey on Sunday. So we did what any good triathlete does the night before a race — we carbo-loaded.
As you can see, Jenna was extremely pumped about her gnocchi and the tantalizing prospect of waking up at 5 am.
Carolina managed to eat her shrimp and arugula without getting any arugula stuck in her teeth. No small feat.
And I enjoyed my massive serving of penne, chicken and broccoli, down to the very last bite.
For our efforts, we were rewarded on race day with pouring rain and sloshing running shoes. Just another Sunday for a bunch of crazy triathletes.
