Race day food?
More specifically, what should I eat and how much for breakfast tomorrow before my crit at 12:30? It's a junior race, and only 30 minutes long. My last race, I decided to eat pancakes for breakfast, six of them, and coffee. That wasn't a very good idea on a 95 degree day, and I threw it up halfway through the race haha. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but now I'm unsure about what I should eat.

Eat what you usually eat.
Changing things is bad for you.

For any race less than 25 miles my standard pre-race snack was a Hershy bar and a can of coke. Lots of sugar and caffiene, and the coke clears your throat of any phlem. Eat and drink that about 45 minutes befoe your race.
