Just had an awesome cinnamon role for desert. That puppy will be powering me for miles 34 - 41 of the California 70.3 on Saturday. Looking forward to some ginger snaps after dinner tonight for miles 42-46.

I used to load up using sports drinks, but my wife turned me on to deserts after she had 3 pieces of cake for dinner the night before she flew through the Chicago marathon.

I try to get extra carbs throughout the day in the three days leading up to a long race. Do most of you carbo-load as well? Any thoughts on the best approach?
