Liquid calories digest more quickly.
OJ is too acidic for me prior to exertion. So is V8 (these are the two products that I drink when I’m not going for a workout).
Anyone got suggestions on pre-race liquid intake?
flat coke, gatorade, or water is the only thing I have less than an hour before a race.

Chocolate milk, or sports drink.
Boost.
Maltodextrin based drink (Sustained Energy, Ironfuel)
Gatorade / Hammer Gel mixture.

Don’t skip solid food for breakfast.
Sip on some Gatorade or call A-Rod and get some ‘boli.’

How about muscle milk or one of their variations?
Personally for me it’s always a Starbucks latte… non-fat.

It’s not liquid, but if it’s easy on the stomach calories you’re after, baby food. (Not the strained peas, but the fruits, etc.)
We use to eat it at swim meets in between events. Good stuff.

Ensure for pre-race calories. Dilute sports drink for the
hour or so before the swim.
That being said, I need to cut down on my pre-race fluids. Too
many times I come into T1 needing to execute P1.

What’s his number?
800-I-bone-mad(onna)?
or
888-Boli-4-NY?
Boost is good too, and slightly less geriatric than ensure…
how about watered down oatmeal?

Oh, thought you were referring to a different kind of juice. 
I do love V8 though! So good.
HGH, Deca, Test or some other PED’s should do the trick!
No carbs 1 hour before workout, it will lover your blood sugar once you start your exercise and therefore you will reach exhaustion earlier, so water is the way to go.
I’ve been using Enusre as a pre-race meal for several years. Works great for me. I usually have butterfles before a race and find it easier to drink my calories.
Chocolate soymilk always works well for me pre-workout or race. I subsist on that stuff

Very interesting. This is assuming that you have obtained sufficient carbs/fat/protein several hours before the race?
If so, how many calories do you aim to ingest before a 70.3?

Don’t coke and gatorade also have high fructose corn syrup?
