Since I'm still riding the high of the Gasparilla Half Marathon I thought I'd share my 24 hour race day eats...including my new secret race weapon!
Pre-Race Dinner
Since the race was in Tampa, Kyle's friend Denny agreed to host us and let us crash at his house. Denny is a killer personal trainer too and he would like to claim ownership of "portions of the inspiration" for the 100, 75, 50, 25 workout. Feel better Denny?
We headed to Wiregrass Mall and a place called GrillSmith for dinner. I figured I could get something healthy and basic here.
We started with a 1/2 price Margherita flat bread. Yummy! Can you mess one of these up?
My new race secret weapon: CHCOCLATE COVERED PRETZELS! I had them before my last 10 miler and I went fast. Why mess with a good tasty thing?
Pre-Race Meal
It was typical. Toasted whole-wheat bagel with peanut butter and an orange FRS. I tried to limit my pre-race liquid intake..but apparently that didn't work. Here's a link to my nutrition student's take on pre-race eats. Check it out.
Post-Race
I wasn' too impressed with their post race spread. I had 1/2 a banana and a few bites of a dry bagel. I had stashed a Mix1 protein drink in the car and was happy to have that.

Carb fest time! I run so I can eat...right?
For some reason I always want Cracker Barrel after I run? I think I just want biscuits. Nom. Nom.
I ordered 2 eggs, turkey sausage, biscuits, and hashbrown casserole. It was all enjoyed with a big glass of grapefruit juice.
I felt 110% better than after the Clearwater half. I wasn't famished all day but I did allow myself some additional treats...aka wine, chocolate, popcorn!
This week my mileage is down and so are my treats! Welcome back clean, unprocessed eating!
What is your go-to post race meal?

Love and flaky pastries,

So bummed about you losing your comments. Maybe there's a plug-in interaction issue? Did you recently update a different plug-in or add a new one? Maybe if you delete whatever one you updated/added it will fix the problem. Just an idea....
ReplyDeleteAs for my post race food, prior to going vegan I was all about cracker barrel too! Loved the mama's pancake breakfast with fruit toppings, eggs, and all.
Now my go-to is usually HUGE smoothies =)
haha i love the popup popcorn bowl! what a great invention, no? i often crave popcorn on my long-run days (need carbs!). but, i love sweet snacks so i'll usually add cinnamon and agave nectar to mine. delicious!
ReplyDeletemy favourite recovery meal is beans on toast with poached egg and mushrooms. always makes me feel better and recharged.
ReplyDeleteI celebrate a half marathon with a Five Guys hamburger :) Healthy, no; but exactly what i need after 13 miles!
