I have seen people at meets gulping down these little bottles with the label "5 hour energy" drinks. They apparently have lots of amino acids, L-carnitine and other stuff. Does anyone think that really helps pre-race?
Its all in their head. If they race w/o it, they will feel like they're missing their mojo. I used to use Sobe Adreneline Rush and Red Bull - it gave me wings. After swimming a couple rinkydink meets w/o use of the bulletcans, I came to the realization that if I wasn't prepared to swim well, I didn't deserve any artifical help, and if I truly was prepared to swim well, I would do just fine w/o.
