western australian method (google it if you care) of carb loading complete.
This is the first time I've tried it 3 days prior to my event, as in the past, doing the load the day before my event leaves me bloated, sluggish, 5 lbs heavier and uncomfortable on race morning... not good. When doing the load in this method, I've raced well, but felt crappy leading up to the race... too much digestion going on.
Hence the carb load tonight. Should give similar effect (supersaturated glycogen stores) with out the other problems. I just eat normally for the next 3 days. No prob.
How did I take in 700g or so of carb in 6 hours? :
1 bag rice cereal (unsweetened)
1 bag kamut cereal (unsweetened)
1 serve oatmeal with 1/2 sweetpertater
3 cups organic blueberries
1 banana
maybe 1/4 cup of raw sugar (used for cereal and pancakes)
5-6 servings of gluten free pancakes (blueberry and bananan)
2 specialK bars (sucked)
1c nonfat frozen yogurt in waffle cone
a bunch of whey/casein protein powder
apple
raisins
cocoa powder
a few carrots and a tiny salad (which I couldnt finish due to extreme fullness).
wow. no more eating for a while, please.
At least I'm carb loaded and ready to go. sorta fun, sorta not.
