Conrad Stoltz Caveman pre race dinner

Pre race Caveman dinner tonight. Fresh gnocchi with herbs, pan seared Eland steaks, blue cheese, beet root (aka legal EPO) and brusselsprouts with garlic chunks for that special “GOOD LUCK” breath and propulsion off the start line…

Eat big. Mostly carbs, fats and protein. Go slow on the fiber. (Leafy stuff like salad, fruit etc)

Hydrate with colourant and flavourant free drink containing Sodium, Magnesium and Potassium. If it hot, start drinking a good amount of the sodium drink 2 days before. The sodium and Mg also helps with cramps.

I try to stay clear of the beer the day before.

But chocolate is pretty much a part of my DNA…

Last Supper desert message from  Princess Hotstuff.

Relax, go to bed the usual time, and dont think about the race till tomorrow. I have a semi boring book (At Home by Bill Bryson and anything by Herman Charles Bosman) and architecture podcast (99% Invisible) handy to put me to sleep.
