This is one of our favorite meets. We have reduced our efforts at practices this week to get us ready. It’s a good idea to cut down on caffein now and get good nights of sleep. Drink lots of liquids and stay away from all the sick folks running around. There were 200 kids missing at school today and several sick ones in attendance so the flue is making its rounds. Many have asked about the right thing to eat the night before the race. Specifically I’ve been asked about carbo loading. From all I have read it appears that the best thing to do the night before our race is to make sure you get a good balance of protein a little bit of carbs with fresh steamed vegetables.
