FANS 24 is only 3 days away. Last night I took the packing list from yesterday's blog and plowed through 50% of packing. Funny, if we were not driving, I would fit it all in 1 - suitcase and now I will end up with a full trucks worth of stuff.
My nutrition plan is pretty easy, although I could always call an "in race" audible - I rarely deviate.
Pre-Race
I will eat 1000 calories of something - Pancakes or muffins 3 hours prior to the race start. I will also take succeed pre-race pill pack 60 minutes prior to the race.
In Race
Lap 1 (21-22 minutes) - Crew passing a handheld with a Powerbar strawberry banana gel
Lap 2 - Crew passing a handheld with a Powerbar stawberry banana gel + S-Cap
Lap 3 - 270 Calories of Endurox R4 (Orange or Green) + handheld with water
Repeat.
Every once in a while I will take a banana along with the gel - Not planned just when I feel like it. A few times a race I will take a 1/2 ham and cheese sandwich instead of a gel. If I am not eating bananas, I will take a potassium pill every 4 hours.
I tend to do 2 things: 1) Over hydrate and 2) Over-salt. It is not uncommon for me to have to pee 20-24 times in a 24 hour race. I will try to dial that down slightly this race, although I would rather over hydrate than under hydrate.
Post Race
1-gallon of water - To help flush all the toxins
600 calories of Pro-Source Extreme Nytro Whey Protein.
1-Succeed post race pill pack
540 calories of Endurox R4
What ever looks good at post race breakfast (Eggs, fruit, sausage & tater tots)
* Of course there can be multiple adjustments - Specially in the 1st aide area. Pepto, Tums, ginger root candy, coke, diet coke and anti-diarrhea pills could all be taken to respond to problems. I am also thinking of packing some salty mashed potatoes with cheese and sour cream as a possible addition to the food I eat.
Good running to all -
