eat very clean, no white sugars no white flour. Although you should never be eating those anyway. Eat fruit, avoid big meals. I will bring you to nutritional nirvana. Have a couple wheat grass shots. Stick to Barilla plus if you have to eat pasta. Lots of sweet potatoes.

you know , its ONE shot ! i mean, i know of some larger shots i have seen poured in bars that could kill many, many brain cells and taste probaly like jet fuel as some are lit on fire.
JUST DO THE WHEAT GRASS :)

well I have seen what it does for the CATS AND DOGS that eat it... and it doesnt look like anything I want to put my body through...

(wheat grass?! - are you freakin kidding me)

During the sixth, fifth and fourth day before your race you can adjust your diet to be slightly more on the protein and good fats and oils side. Then during the final three days, switch to eating a higher percentage of your diet as carbohydrates. Make sure to eat lots of smaller meals throughout the day when you do this.

By virtue of the fact that your workouts will be significantly reduced during these final three days, you will naturally store up reserves of carbohydrates, but this method allows it to be done in a way that is much safer than the traditional carbo-load.

Along with the calories, you want to make sure you gradually get well hydrated. A human being hydrates by drinking more modest amounts of liquid over a longer period of time. So as you go into your final days before the race, gradually increase your liquid intake and sip throughout these days. Don't wait until 24 hours to go and down gallons of fluids.

Pre-race breakfasts can be one of the biggest questions. The answer of what to eat lies in what you would normally consume before heading out for a very long day of training. If you would eat more than a powerbar and water, then on race morning you will also need more than a powerbar and water. Do what you would normally do. The thing that can be different than on a training day is that you might prefer to get your calories from liquids rather than solids.

After your breakfast, prepare for the amount of time that will lapse between then and the race start. It can be 2-3 hours or more from the time one eats until the gun goes off. Always take a bottle with you that has a sports or meal replacement drink in it along with an energy bar in case you have that feeling like you just need a little something solid in the stomach. Also take a water bottle with you so that you can drink if you feel the need. This way you will start the race completely fueled up and hydrated.

All you really need to do is what you have been doing. Don't make big changes before a race.
Best thing is to make sure that you hydrate properly the day or so before the race. There isn't a whole bunch of carbo-loading that is needed for a sprint distance. But the day before go with the pasta and more smaller meals is better - and don't choose chocolate cake to get your carbs. Also, avoid the big whole grains and things with lots of fiber the day leading up to and the morning of the race. Obvious reasons. Really just do what you have done for long training sessions and/or bricks. Your body stores plenty of energy to get through a sprint. Race morning just take in what is easiest for the stomach to process.

You're talking an hour and a half of exertion. I don't think its going to make much difference what you eat the day or two before. (assumming you don't down 3 big macs and 4 super sized orders of fries just before the race). Eat healthy foods that you know you tolerate well. A little more emphasis on complex carbs won't hurt.
