 Posted: 01/14/05 - 23:44 Post subject: Pre-Meet Diet
hey all
my first post here
im a Sophmore in HS and me and three other kids are running in a Sophmore Championship 4 by 400 at the Armory in NYC for the New Balance Games
ive worked my ass off all year to make it to the top 4 400 runner in my class ( abour 850 kids ) and it all comes down to basically this one meet!
im just wonderin what i should eat leading up to the meet, the night before, and the mornin of the meet
I will be running a Quarter Mile and we think we have a REAL good chance of medaling!
Remember this will not be a long race ( hopefully  ) so keep that in mind
thanks alot for all of your help

About the only advice I can give ya on "race food" is to not make it anything different than your usual fare. If your training diet is high on carbs with doses of meat and fiber/veggies, then that's exactly what to eat before the race. By all means, don't introduce something you're not 100% sure about how your digestive tract is going to react. Keep well hydrated the days leading up to race day. Go easy or totally cut out the animal products in the final 12-hrs before racing. A pre-race morning meal that is standard stuff for runners is a bagel, banana and jug of gatorade.
Good luck and let us know how the race turns out!!

for the 4 by 200 my team came in seconds
which we oculd have done a lot better
for my 600 i came in 7th/8th
i was gonna beat a junior in my school ( im a sophmore) but he came from behind in the last 30 meters and it was so close im not sure who got 7th or 8th ( im gonna go ahead and say i got 7th )
thanks for the good luck
