Eating for competition
A little late to post this, but it's useful information in any case.
From time to time, I have a fencing tournament or meet. I fence sabre, so basically this means I will be engaging in pretty strenuous exercise in few-minutes-each bursts throughout the day. My question is, how do I eat for these things? I don't want to throw up on the strip or feel weighed down, but at the same time I've experienced in the past fading as the day progressed, starting to lose because I was just getting too zoned out.
Particularly today. The meet begins at three, I'll be leaving at two. It goes until 10 pm, and I particularly have a weird schedule, because the rest of the women's sabre squad is unable to come, so I'll be doing three bouts in a row, having a relatively long break, and then doing it again. This is too long to go without eating, but I'm not entirely sure what to do. I'll bring a banana as a potassium-rich snack, but what else?
