Good points, it definitely is harder to pack in the calories after a full carb load and can get risky with bathroom breaks unless you have it ironed out really well...

I remember reading an interview with Jan where he said he likes to eat a very fat-heavy diet in the lead-up to a race, I believe he mentioned pizza in particular. I’ve always wanted to know more about how dietary fat taken in within a day or less of a race is metabolized compared to body fat if at all, but that’s probably starting to get off topic.

I never carb load for any race. Eat normally... don't mess with your body.

My best iron distance ever in Germany I ate a modest meal of bratwurst, sauerkraut and potatoes at about 5pm the day before.
However, too much fatty food can really mess me up on race day.

Scared of fat in Pringles? They replaced that fat with transfat (monoglycerides)



Anyways, would be interesting if everyone went back and put in their post their resulting 140.6 time.

Me: 40g dark Chocolate and black coffee.... Last night's dinner being enough fuel. (Double hamburger with Avo, bacon, blue cheese)

Time: 10:54
Age 33

Only if you promise to draft me, the closer the better.

If you want to get technical then age is part of the equation.

2 sleeves of chocolate chip Pop Tarts plus 20 ounces of Mountain Dew.

9:56

37 years 11 months (USAT 38)

I eat people with sucky bike fits and gator skins for breakfast.

I’d like to say chocolate cake but the real answer is 2 coffees, toast and banana.
