Pre-Race Food for Longboarders
July 9, 2010 in Competitions, Longboarding
There was a discussion on silverfish about what you should eat. Whole foods. Stuff that’s not greasy and wouldnt upset your stomach on a sunny day or the morning after.
Simple foods with high-carbohydrates is good for your dinner before. Just don’t put a bunch of junk in your stomach.
Don’t eat high fiber foods or salads and vegetables. They are good for you but will make you have to use the bathroom during a race. That’s a noooo.
Water. Drink water the night before and that morning. Don’t drink coffee and other liquids that will leave you dehydrated. That’s not gonna help you at all.
A little salt will help you take on the right amounts of liquid throughout the day.
The morning before, eat small like an apple or a couple pancakes. Just don’t stuff up and don’t eat too much stuff compounded together. Your body won’t be able to process it in time or correctly.
30 minutes before your race, a bagel won’t hurt. Just make sure you know all these foods aren’t going to upset your stomach. You shouldn’t be reading this the day of!
That’s all I got. Just be smart, listen to your body.
