pre - race breakfast:   Toast with peanut butter and golden syrup; Yogurt; Fruit juice; banana; Oats porridge; boiled egg

 

Are you sure you will be on the start line, with all that in your system?

Pasta the night before. Dont usually eat carbs at night. Breakfast is boiled oats, pawpaw with yoghurt, fruit juice and 3 scoops of duratrain in a shake. Coffee make me pee so no coffee before a race. Bannana just before leaving the house.

Megan Jaffray at Pace and Power has a shake called endurashake. That stuff works awesome. You drink it 30mins before you start. So no need to get up early to have a big brekkie 2-3hrs before you ride.

Only thing that works for me, i never have that heavy feeling in my stomach. I use it for enduro motorbike races too and it works the best if you quickly need to get food into you body at the DSP's or in the pits, but cant stand eating anything solid (i also eat 2 table spoons of peanut butter with this)

Half a bottle of cough syrup and half a bottle of bio plus...

Half a bottle of cough syrup and half a bottle of bio plus...

Before every race or just when you have a little cough ?
