Since track events are much shorter than road events and

the usual weekly PIR race how much does one need to eat before

a race? If I race at the track after 6 when should my last large meal be?

How long before race time do I have that last Cliff bar? Will I have

to eat more for a long points race than I would for a 3 race omnium?

My goal is to prevent regurgitation of meals and or snacks

after short high intensity efforts that one experiences in a track race.

Now I know that puking can be part of the track racers world but I would

rather it not be caused by

that power bar I ate 45 minutes before race time.



I would be most grateful for any wisdom from the track folks!
