what to eat before a morning open water swim

Hey Folks, I have an event coming up, and I want to prepare well with my intake of correct food. My race should go off at about 9am, and I want to have energy, but not heavy-ness from eating breakfast. What suggestions do you all have for a great morning 1.5 K swim preparation? Also, and suggestions for the days preceeding the race? Thanks! Gretchen

  • Again, the PBJs work great for me, but you'll need to figure out what works on your stomach before you do any activity. Maybe do a b'fast/sandwich whatever about 2 hours before the event so it's going through your system, then top off about 30 minutes prior with something small - 1/2 banana or a gel to get the blood pumping.
