Well, you gotta go with what you can stomach. I have had a bit of experience with endurance racing so I knew what I could eat.
After each lap you MUST force yourself to eat. ABSOLUTE MUST!! Whether you feel like it or not, I hope you hear my voice in your head(even though you have no idea what it sounds like).
After each lap I would eat something below:
Pasta with a little chicken breast
Bread or bagel with peanut butter
Mashed potatoes
Drink at least 16 ounces of sunny delight, or gatorade.
Also good is chicken broth or noodle soup (good for friggin morning laps)
You have about a 30 minute window when your body is best at taking in carbos and regenerating so eat right away.
Before each lap I would drink one bottle of cytomax. Depending on how far apart your lap times you may need to eat something before your lap too. Just remember the whole puke factor. Give your body about 1.5 -2 hours to digest the food before you race.

I would recommend that you don't eat bananas before you race. They are a nasty visual for other riders, when they don't stay down.

My name probably doesn't make sense, because I wasn't able to post the picture I wanted. 100 posts? We'll see if any comedy movie fans remember who Lady Litton was.
She wouldnt admit it but I was curious why she was so active on my puke thread.Originally posted by Lady Litton

Food. If you think you can stomach, eat it. If your on a team, after your lap take a short break but then get right to eating. No more than 30 minuets after your lap/laps.Originally posted by C1run1
what ?
No Raw eggs anymore ?
And Where's the beef ?
How do you train for such a race ? Is it to complex toget in to ?
How come you can stop after every lap to eat ?
Please Fill me in on this stuff I'm a little green on the suject but very Interested in the idea .
Thanks C1run1
Eat lot's. Personally i'd say say away from the gross greasy foods and the really heavy ones at least 3 days prior. But do start hydrating a full week before and no alochol during that period. Stay away from diet soda's too.Originally posted by sirknight6
Another question I'd like to add is what would be the best diet the week BEFORE a 24 hour event>
Ouch, no alcohol? I have never ever lived up to this although that is what is advised. Thinking back, I have always had beer the day before my 24 hour or 12 hour races! I like beer.Originally posted by The Toninator

I routinely drink 12-18 beer the night before XC races.Originally posted by Heidi

Drinking does NOT help me sleep. I carry guilt to sleep with me and for every beer i drink i get up one hour earlyerOriginally posted by ssaddict
No beer!
LMAO... yeah right!!!
I've never not had a beer(s) before a race.
Now drinking a lot isn't the best idea (I know from experience), but usually it just relaxes me and helps me sleep before races.
It helps me sleep when I camp before races. 2 beers before bed will make me nice and sleepy. It's just that then I have to wake up in the middle of the night to go pee!!Originally posted by The Toninator
