Breakfast before 70.3

Holy crap. i could never eat that much before a race! But may be you are used to it? I dont think you would want a plate of pasta sitting in your stomach the morning of a race.

What did you eat during training?

I eat a bagel with peanut butter and jelly.

Please don't make yourself sick with a heavy stomach..... and you don't want to expend all of your energy on digestion.

I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat the morning of my 70.3.

Oh, and Lisa's post reminded me; I also did a GU right before swim start, then continued my nutrition plan from there.

I go almost entirely liquid diet after lunch the day before the race (i like to start a race on an empty GI tract).  My lunch the day before is typically a very large dish of pasta with a little lean protein and maybe a little sauce, I'll have a smoothie for a late afternoon snack, then for dinner a bottle of Bolthouse Farms "Green Goodness" or Naked Juice "Green Machine" mixed with protein powder and maybe a peanut butter sandwich for dinner.

For breakfast the day of the race, I usually have a bottle of Bolthouse Farms "Blue Goodness" or Naked Juice "Blue Machine" (high in carbs, very high in B vitamins) shaken with a little protein powder, and maybe a banana on the side.  If I'm feeling very hungry, I'll might also have a bagel or toast with peanut butter.  I also have about 24-26 ounces of coffee.
