What You Eat Makes the Race

Don't Eat Too Much or Too Little

My son says protein and dairy products are his enemy.


Everytime Nick eats eggs for breakfast or has some milk to drink before a race he gets sick. He can't race if he eats too much and he can't race if he has eggs or milk.

Two laps into today's race he was already sick. He did terrible. He was half a lap behind where usually he's right up in front. He says he felt sick to his stomach. He had oatmeal, an egg, toast and milk 1 1/2 hours before the race.

I'm wondering what the rest of you eat before a race and how far before the race do you eat. Post comments telling how you eat for a race.
