triitagain - 2009-06-20 1:23 PM What is a good meal to eat the night before and the morning of a triathalon?

Night before, I usually have Italian or a seafood dinner.  But its the nutrition during training leading up to the race that also matters.

Morning of a race is no different than any other morning that I may do training.  I wake up, eat a banana, drink water and then coffee.  ~ 10 min before the race or training I eat a gel or half powerbar. 

Take a read through this guide to get a better feel about pre-race nutrition.
