Hey DJ,
There are lots of great articles for you about IM nutrition. The main theme throughout all of these sites is to practice, practice, practice your race-day strategy. So figure out what works for you during training and stick with it. That means you might have to try lots of different combinations of solid food/fluid but as I've learned from experience, it's worth the time/effort.
Since you will be indoors, you will have an advantage in that the conditions will be stable. Heat and humidity really take it out of me so I have to adjust my intake accordingly.
Here are some of my favorite sites on nutrition:

Good luck!
