What is your go-to pre-race meal?
My pre-race meal typically consists of oatmeal with nut butter, a banana, and some plain Greek yogurt. If it's quite a while before I race, I might also have some eggs on the side. The mix of proteins, carbs, and fats will give me staying power, while being easy to digest. As a backup plan, I travel with jar peanut butter and either toast or muesli that I can soak in milk the night before.

So I've got a plan to be planning to see plan because sometimes on the road, you don't know what you're gonna get, and you don't really have control over the foods, you're provided with, at different hotels, in different countries around the world. So my go-to is oatmeal with some sort of nut butter, like peanut butter, almond butter, or something, and a banana. And maybe some plain Greek yogurt. And if it's quite a while before I raise, I might also have some eggs on the side. So I'm getting a mix of proteins, some carbon carbohydrates and some fats for staying power, but it's all pretty easy for me to digest especially like, I know, banana peanut butter oatmeal, like, that's gonna stay down. No matter what my backup plan is. I actually travel with jar peanut butter so it's peanut butter. Butter on toast on otherwise like muesli if I can soak it the night before in almond milk or oat milk or something, to make sure it's easier to digest. So I've got a number of options that I know are going to work for me."
