When I bought half a lamb last fall, lamb ribs was one of those cuts I really didn't know what to do with. It ended up sitting in the freezer for a long time, but eventually I decided to just try slow-baking them with some ready-bought barbecue sauce. Incredibly delicious! The ribs don't hold a whole lot of meat though, so you need a lot of them to feed a crowd.
The salad is great with this - a nice, light counterpart to the intense meatiness of the lamb. It would also go well with a piece of grilled salmon or chicken. If you can't find clementines, oranges or blood oranges would be equally nice.
Lamb Ribs
No need for measurements. Just pop all of your lamb ribs into the oven at 125°C for 3-4 hours. Brush occasionally with barbecue sauce, and keep baking until the meat is tender and easily separating from the bones. Clean the meat from bones and gristle, and mix with some extra barbecue sauce.

And a tiny piece of bread:
Plenty of beta carotene but not enough calories! Later I bought a red bean bun at Family Mart. We stayed at a love hotel. Usually love hotels charge by the hour, and you have to pay cash. Instead of a key, the clerk buzzes you up. The parking lot entrance is shrouded with a tattered plastic curtain for car privacy. The rooms have always been really nice, though I don't know who would use the community toothpaste and hair brush!
Every lap I passed a table of choco pies (a staple at Korean races), bananas, gatorade, and water. The race is too short for a choco pie, in my opinion! My SO swears by the Korean cake rolls for his long runs, though. 
The meal included seaweed soup, rice, vegetables, kimchi, and breaded meat cutlets. When I briefly walked away from the meals, an old man approached and picked up one of the boxes! I hurried back and grabbed the box from his hands. He looked as confused as I was. Then he used hand gestures to ask me to get him his own box! Mind you, he was not in the race. I pretended I did not understand.
