More to the story, it keeps on keeping on

There is more to the story…Poor planning, no planning, even over training may have a role in your success or failure. Obviously there are sport specific differences in quantities needed, timing of food/beverage intake, etc.
If you are traveling, any distance, bring what you need for hydration and meals. Have more than you think you need. Do not depend on food/beverage availability at your destination or in between. You may arrive at odd hours, breakdown on the way, share with others and have none left, have special dietary needs and an impossible barrier to get those items. I never let my food, water, supplement bag out of sight. At an event you should not be eating/drinking strange stuff that is different than used while training. If you suck on orange wedges during a long run, then have some. If you don’t, then don’t!. If you do when you don’t you will have some–diarrhea, that is. What do you do with that while running around Boston in the Marathon? (true story).
Someone else’s Booster Club food at an event, at an away meet–Forget About It! Train your own Booster Club to provide nourishing and appropriate foods at your home and away meets. This becomes especially important if this is a weekend of AM/PM heats and eliminations or multiple events.
You can only go as far as your Nutrition takes you…Does yours need some adjustment? What did you feed your organs and tissues today? Yesterday? Do you even remember? I am interested.
