We are kind of new to endurance races, and figuring out when to eat and how much to eat. Last HVAC adventure race we went into the race without an eating plan. We thought we didn’t need one, but we were wrong! After 5 hours out on the trail we were draining mentally and physically! Now we know there has to be some energy source to keep us going! (And Lisa smiling…ha-ha jk/jk)
This is our plan: On Saturday morning we are going to have a plain bagel with PB and a banana at 8am (2 hours before the race!). We have Luna Moons, Cliff Gels, and Cliff Bars packed in our bags, as well as WATER and GATORADE! We will be refueling every 45 mins-60 mins! But the biggest motivator is after the race we will be the two standing outside of Lisa's car standing up wolfing down her famous pasta salad with our helmets still on, and blood gushing down our knees.
We are bingers…and well frankly we are ok with it :)!
Also we will also have fresh cut up watermelon! And even a special treat for the ride home!
And poss a famous cookie if we finish before all the race amenities are gone or packed up!
We will FINISH!
