What do you guys find is best to eat before a swim meet?

  • I'm with Allen. If the meet's not too early, I'm having some combination of pancakes (if my husband makes them), eggs, toast with peanut butter and honey and/or a banana. During the meet, I'm sipping 50% accelerade. I'll also bring a Luna bar, strawberries or a banana to nibble on if it's a multi-hour meet. And, don't forget, coffee before the sprints. :coffee: If the meet is at the crack of dawn, I'm probably not attending. If I have to because it's a big meet, I'm eating an energy bar and banana in the car as I'm complaining about early risers and "morning people." :shakeshead:
