Champion 5529 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: What do you eat before IM Race? I concur with the don't try anything new. My IM CDA plan was the following-- 8:00 pm Dinner was chinese (nothing spicy, heavy on the salted rice) I practiced this prior and knew that it would give me enough calories to safely make it onto the bike. |

Extreme Veteran 484 McHenry, IL | Subject: RE: What do you eat before IM Race? Wake up about 4 AM. Have 2 cans of Boost. Coffee. Water. At about 4:45-5:00, another can of Boost. Get to transition ~5:15. Between then and race start, I'll sip water and/or sports drink. Then, one shot of gel with water at about 6:45. To be honest, my stomach usually doesn't feel all that great while it's working on digesting those calories. But, by 5:30-6 AM or so, I'm usually feeling great. -Steve |

Master 1254 Chesapeake, VA | Subject: RE: What do you eat before IM Race? Please take the advice of eat what and how you normally eat before long training days. I knew this fact too, but I ended up trying a 2 am meal at IM CdA which I had never done before. I woke up on race morning feeling bloated and gassy and had GI issues all day. NEVER again will I try anything new on race day. |
