Subject: Last Meal

About to do my first tri tomorrow morning 8ish, and was wondering what your favorite meals are the day before and when you eat them. I was figuring that I would have a large meal mainly of grilled chicken and veggies late afternoon today? Am I close or way off?

For me I like to have my last good size meal at about 5 ish so that everything is good in the morning. I do like to eat a light meal in the morning about 3 hrs before hand. The longer the race them ore critical all of this becomes.

My pre-race dinner is always whole-wheat pasta with sauce, and some chicken. I don't recommend you eat whole wheat pasta tonight if you don't normally eat it. If you haven't practiced your pre-race meal the night before your big training days, just eat a normal dinner tonight (i.e., something typical of what you would eat during the week).

FWIW, pretty much starting in Feb or March, I eat my pre-race dinner every Friday night (or Saturday night if my long ride/brick is on Sunday). I also practice my pre-race breakfast the next morning, before my long ride/brick.

But, don't think too much about it. Just eat what's normal for you, and you'll be fine. Good luck tomorrow!!!
