Run day eats at the parks

[Jim6122]

What and where does everyone eat the day of your race? We are doing the Wine and Dine this year and have the Dining Plan. Any advise?

To be honest, it really depends on what you can tolerate for the run. I tend to need to eat lightly so I am not searching for a port of potty during the race. I remember looking at all of the interesting meals people were eating at the All star resort before the race our first year. I saw lots of pasta, but I opted for cereal and banana for my dinner. I think last year we actually brought and made our own peanut butter sandwiches. Of course, the day after we let loose with a yummy buffet for breakfast at the Yacht Club! Good luck and have fun. See you out there.

Don't eat anything you haven't tried to eat before a run in training. Race day is not the day to try something new.

For my Wine & Dine half I just hit the Food & Wine kiosks but was careful about what I tried.

Since most of us do not train late at night the food for race day is a dilemma. I am going to reverse what I do for a day race and eat a good healthy lunch with protein and carbs ( hopefully pasta or rice) and then have banana and an English muffin with peanut butter before I leave the hotel for the race. Should be. Great time!

I think I'm going to do something similar for dinner, especially since I'm staying at boardwalk villas. I'm struggling with breakfast and lunch. Food and Wine is going to be insanely tempting, but I'll try to keep that to Friday and Sunday! Any recommendations for breakfast and lunch on race day? Obviously nothing heavy, greasy, or unusual, but I'm trying to think where will have the best options for that.

I am thinking the same. We have a late breakfast scheduled at Tusker House and I will bring my typical pre-race fare with me.
