Finally got a crit race in yesterday, and one of the concerns was how to prepare for the race nutrition-wise. Without working out in the morning, I felt hungry throughout the day but ended up eating regular food. I also drank a lot of water at lunch and after, and all of this seemed to work for the ride. I also had oatmeal later on in the day, so I felt good for the race...despite having to pee 3 times before the race. I did have one shot blok before the race just as a precaution and did not have any cramps throughout.
For today, I worked out my arms and got 4 different exercises in with a lot of reps. Mentally, I was in race mode thinking I had to push harder and faster each rep, so it got pretty intense. I had to cut it short though as I had to run an errand in the morning. I skipped core training as a result.
It looks like there's some drizzle this morning, so I'll probably skip riding at lunch. My legs feel good though, so I'll probably work on some interval training on the elliptical.
