Mmm... bacon.... I think. Maybe. Depends. But, looking forward to finding out this year at mile 90!

They do not mess around at Cascade Crest. I haven't done any others to compare too, but the food was quite impressive. Tons of grilled cheese, grilled ham and cheese, quesadillas, PB&Js, but then there was also the bacon, chocolate chip pancakes, perogies, potato soups, noodle soups, chocolate fountain....

Are the gilled sandwiches hot or cold?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Hot. Well, at the aid station I worked at least.
Edited to add: the grilled cheese. We didn't have fish sandwiches.
Edited further to add: now I want fish pie.
Bacon Party!
Oh, good grief!! That is CRAZY!
But certainly appreciated (even if none of it winds up being appealing at the time). Grilled cheese and quesadillas have, so far, always been welcome. I'm really hoping I'll be up for the bacon and perogies!
Only 7 months to go...
On a total hijack, have you decided whether you'll be running again?

Yup...definitely signing up for Cascade Crest. Fish sandwiches would be awesome too!
They served 80lbs of bacon at the Cow Camp A/S at Bighorn 100. There was a runner who came in sick...and he'd been a vegetarian for 10+ years...looked around, grabbed a handful of bacon, and took off. That was the turning point of his race.
Trent: Turkey bacon may work.

Bacon just sounds horrible. To WG's point though, the types of foods that you crave are often nothing you want day to day. All I could think about was peppermints but had none. Then when I stocked them, I didn't want them.
I also know a guy here that was vegan. When he finished the race he ate meat - lots. He too is still a carnivore.

I don't eat turkey either.
But the story of the vegetarian grabbing bacon...heh heh heh.
Hotdogs with extra ketchup and (English) mustard at 3.00 am in the morning with a cuppa tea....food of the Gods.
I just love crispy, streaky bacon late on in a race, I seem to desire savoury, salty foods anything to get food inside me then washed down with a banana milkshake drink

This is a fascinating thread -- thanks for all the info -- except, stop posting bacon in such big letters, or I'm gonna get obsessed with it
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Consistently Slow
Bacon! I could not keep a banana down at a 50k. Do take this stuff with you on training runs? Went back to the the 1st post.
Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Practice eating in training

You can not wait to eat in a race - Most people wait too long and then their body rejects it.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
All this talk is making me hungry.

I do not eat Bacon while running - I know some do -
My food choices are very limited while training and running - I stay away from high sugar items except
Gels and Endurox R4
I tend not to drink sports drink
I eat bananas if possible or take a potasium pill
I will eat a small amount of meat and cheese in sandwhiches to keep my stomache from going sour with all the gels and Endurox I take.
I start fueling from the start and it is my main concern throughout the race - Food-Salt-hydration - running - time etc are just secondary ... If I nail the eating / drinking part the rest will fall into place.
It is a rare occassion when I can not follow my nutrition plan - My 1st 50M my nutrition plan was for a gel every 2 miles - so I ate 25 gels in 50 miles.
Pizza - Cookies - Candy or Candy Bars - Chocolate - etc - Make me crash
Soup - potatoes - pasta - Although normally not on my nutrition plan - work nicely
PB&J - The J has too much sugar
Beer - God how I love beer - has no place during my races - Unless during a marathon or shorter
I am sure looking forward to 2011 -
