Rate pre-race meal/10

6-Hour Endurance MTB race tonight. Temp should be at a toasty 114F at start time (7pm).

Duo race with my lil'bro.

Grilled sirloin steaks with a homemade bearnaise sauce.
2 small sweet taters w/ butter and cinnamon.



Wish us luck, fellas!
I'm not blessed with riches, but I am rich with blessings.
Thank you, LORD, my God.

LOL. Electrolytes, water, and caffeine. Srs. Pre-hydrating. Soaking myself internally.

Actual meal 1-hour before the race is a bowl of ramen soup with 1700mg of sodium. I'm a salty sweater.

Mirin food. That's not too much grease before an endurance race? I'd imagine I'd be burping the entire race if I ate that. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Nah. I tend to stay away from breads before a race though. Breads for me feel like I got a brick in my gut that won't go away. Mentally, that slows me down.

How far ahead do you need to eat? I imagine an hour or two before the race right? Looks good to me for sure.

That steak meal is my last heavy meal. 6 hours before start time. I'll eat the ramen soup 1 hour before race, but may not eat most of the noodles. I'm just here for the salt content, and drink the broth.

I also carry a flask of pickle juice in my bag for emergency cramps.

Sirloin no longer makes sense as a cut. Sirloin used to be half the price as ribeye but now it's almost the same price so you might as well eat ribeye.
That would make sense if I can find ribeye at $3.77/lb. Ribeye is my fav cut. I'm poorcel though. Bought yesterday

Honestly, don't think we'll podium. Lots of racers in our class, some of them on actual sponsored teams. I'm just here for the fun and personal mental and physical endurance of it.

don't know whats behind this, I am guessing you are doing a Ketovsky, but even then, large carb load would be better for endurance race. Hard to get started, when you break keto like that, just before the race, but it usually pays back an hour into the race. Too late now, since it starts shortly. I rate it 2/10, not enough anything.

Been carb loading since Wednesday. Pasta, sweet taters, etc. On race day, too many carbs makes me feel..."heavy"? Like I'm bloated. So on race day, I limit carbs and focus on protein and hydration.

Anyway, race done. Was on 6hr Duo Team with my brother. He did 2 laps, I did 4. (each lap is 9.5 miles in, XC single track in the desert). We finished 4th



3 miles from the start, I crash. LOL! It was crazy loose, so dry. Clocked my crash going at 19.8mph. I don't mind the road rash, I'm just hoping I didn't break my other collarbone. It hurts. Still road the remaining 35 miles with injuries.
Negged by trail:


BIB#. C'mon! We all know I'm a Godcel. I was actually kind of annoyed by this. I prayed before, during, and after race. srs

Thank you, LORD, my God.
