Race day fueling:
Friday afternoon richryan610 and I did a Q&A session at The Feed booth. One of the questions asked was about race day nutrition. Hearing Rich’s answers and comparing them to my own was a good reminder that this is very individual. While we did have many similarities, there were also many differences in how we approached fueling and nutrition leading up to the race on the day.
For our mixed doubles this weekend my approach was the following:
- normal breakfast with coffee
- Mid morning snack
- Banana
- 1/2 serving of bicarb
At the venue:
- Maurten 160 carb powder
- Precision 500 tablets
- Ketone IQ w/caffine
- Amex energy chews
In line for start tunnel:
- Precision Nutrition caffeinated gel
During race:
- 2x precision nutrition non caffeinated gel
After race:
- ketone IQ
- Scratch recovery
My race start time was 1:40pm this weekend. You can find all these goodies thefeed
