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.

damnit hahah this isn't the road bike racing subforum

Eat what you usually eat.

Changing things is bad for you.

Oatmeal, don't eat too much and don't eat for a couple of hours before the race.

For only a half hour I'd have a thing of yogurt and call it good. That's just me though.

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.
