Pre Race Planning

After having more stomach issues in Clermont, I decided to pre plan what I would like to do before my next race, so here goes!

Sleep: Starting Monday, the week before the race, wake at 4am and go about normal routine otherwise.  Get to bed early.

Food: Big breakfast the day before the race (also short run before).  Eggs, bacon and pancakes.  If I ride the bike the day before the race, go super easy...no intervals or out of saddle. For dinner, have pasta with meat sauce (feel free to add grilled chicken if I want).  Have no Dairy the whole day.

Wake up at 4 on race day and have a bagel (cinnamon raisin or blueberry) with Peanut Butter and Honey.  Have only one cup of coffee and some water. 

Once I have gotten to transition, have a big bottle of water with Scratch.  One hour out, have half a bar (or a couple bites).  15 minutes out have a goo.
