Here's a backlog of my food log for IMLP #i8this. John warned me that I wouldn't have time for a project like this and he was right. I did jot notes though, so here it is (with less detail of the when/ how):
Saturday: Day before IMLP
breakfast - gf pancakes with maple syrup and 2 scrambled eggs
snack - hemp shake
lunch - organic turkey on gf bagel with spinach and jalapeno mustard
snack - 3 gf cookies, lemonade
dinner - gf baked ziti and spinach
dessert - 1 more gf cookie
***
And finally, Sunday: Race day!!!
breakfast - 32 oz water, 2 cups coffee, gf bagel with peanut butter and banana
pre swim - more water
bike - 2 bottles heed, 2 bottles perpetuem, 2 bottles water, 2 Nature Valley granola bars (I like them because they're not too sweet), 1 turkey sandwich on gf bread with mustard (the sandwich was key for me because I get soooo hungry), 1 espresso hammer gel
run - 3 gels, 1 Nature Valley granola bar, alternating powerade (course drink) and water at aid stations
post race - water, gf pasta mac and cheese

Stay tuned for a complete post on how to eat in the days after IM to replace calories and promote speedy recovery. It's not as bad as it sounds. I had plenty of treats and "crap" food. I even called the day after IM "melted cheese day".
hah. of course John makes satan cakes.
ReplyDeletewas fun to see what you ate before and during race day. Perfect for me to read through w/o too much detail too. lol you know me. :)
I'm so stoked you did it still! xox m.
