If anybody has any good advice on pre-race nutrition, from the final week to the day before I would appreciate it. Any favorite foods / meals with a good mix of carbs and protein would be very useful.
Thanks

I responded to a big ad in one of the Triathon magazines for E-caps. I purchased a number of their products including Hammer Gel, protein powder and other stuff.

They had a 42 page pfd file you could download - I thought it did a good job discussing carb loading, endurance nutriton etc. Of course for every problem - they had a solution which just happen to be one of their products.

What I do know - is that in my two sprint events in the last several weeks - I had significant energy and was not at all sore following the event. Now this is hardly scientific proof - but I followed their advice on preloading with one of their amino acid products plus taking a regiment of their various other products and it seemed to deliver what I was hoping for. Their web site is E-caps.com (I think) My wife of course thinks I am nuts

Thanks for the recommendation. The .pdf from e-caps is well worth the read, very informative.
