What do you typically eat the night before a race? I've done the pasta thing, but tonite was craving french toast, so we had that made with whole wheat bread and a few strips of center cut bacon. Hit the spot. I will probably have 2 leftover slices of french toast for breakfast along with a banana and coffee.

Thanks! I must admit that I am really looking forward to not having the pressure of this race looming, heh. Next "big" race isn't until Sept. (half marathon).

depending on what kind of race...

before a 5k only midly hog-wild Sad

10k if i have it in me i go hog wild

1/2 marathons I just go out to dinner and eat and drink whatever i want.

this tactic works great for me Smile
running until I hit 1900 miles for the year.
whether fast or slow I will just run.

I've been having pizza the night before, pasta two nights before. Although this past time I had a Gyro and a little pasta the night before and pizza two nights before, I felt great the entire race. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll test that combo for another race. Confused
