Night before, Pasta with Meat sauce and bread.

Morning before, Oatmeal and a glass of juice. Then pop a gel 30-40 minutes before racing

Tried and true for me, never cramped during a tri.

Wading through all of the drivel on this forum.....to read stuff like this makes it all that wasted time worth it.

I'll make a lasagna that's a little light on cheese, and add a lot of shredded veggies to the sauce (eggplant, zucchini, carrots, peppers). Then morning of will be a bagel with some PB and naked brand Green Machine juice.

steamer bag of white rice, can of tuna, salsa, glass of wine. Done...easy and accessible everywhere. Its not fancy but it gets the carbs done and clears the system easily so no crazy runs to the bathroom.

2 PB and J 2-3 hours before race.

^^ this^^

This question has been asked before and a lot of you eat peanut butter in the morning. 2 teaspoons of PB average 6.26g carbs and 16.12g of fat. Why would you want all that fat on your stomach?

---

--------------------------------------------------------

Many of us already have a lot of fat on our stomachs. We also don't mind putting fat in our stomach either. Especially on race day when PB&J is so tasty and encourages eating.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

To be honest...never really thought/think about the fat part of it. Good carbs and protein and my stomach tolerates it well race morning. Maybe some good comes of the fat...who knows?

steak

Main dish: Whole wheat pasta with fish or gilled chicken.
Sides: Bread and veggies

Morning of: Oatmeal with creamy peanut butter mixed in, along with bananas and blue berries. Sip on water and Cytomax till race time.

Gel 20-30 minutes before race start.

Keep it simple, eat what you normally would the night before a big workout.
