Event Preparation
The Week Before
Don't try to lose weight the week before your event. You want to eat a well balanced diet - don't overload, don't under-fuel. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Always try to eat 5-8 servings of vegetable/fruit per day and try to find foods that are all-natural or local (in season.) Professional race car drivers wouldn't put regular unleaded in their car on race day, so don't use sugary chocolate bars or chips as your race (event) fuel.
The Night Before
Eat a well balanced, easily digestible meal, about 2-3 hours before going to sleep. You want your body resting while you sleep, not busy digesting a heavy meal. Drink lots of water a few days before your event, especially if it is going to be hot and humid!
Nutritional Supplements
During and Post-Event: Antioxidants come in many forms and can be very helpful when training and traveling. The main antioxidants are Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Other supplements can be an energy bar/drink/gel you carry with you during the event. Always test products before the "big day." Read the nutritional label of your supplements and look for products from natural sources with no sugar added.
