Thanks all.

I'll deep six the bacon. (But at 140 calories for four slices and the fact that fats have a history of keeping me satisfied for a long time--I may decide to substitute with a tablespoon of flaxoil at 3-4 hours prior.


At 60+ miles, I can't imagine its ALL hammering all the time. I think its reasonable that I can find a lull at hours 1 and 2.

Should I opt for one of the menu choices I mentioned (500 cals of potato or pasta) in the two hour drive leading up to the event?

Another concern I have is if I drink too much before the race I'll need to go on a solo break just to pull off and take a leak somewhere. I have a really small/weak bladder so I have to be more strategic about this than most...
