Nutrition/Sleep during OC Throwdown

Forgot to note how my food was during the comp.

Friday - We stopped at whole foods when we got in at 5:30 and I had some chicken, kale and roasted red potatoes. I had a burger patty with bacon and a sweet potato right before bed.  Ate 4 meals and a few snacks Friday, felt hungrier than usual.

Saturday -  morning - I woke up at 5:15 went straight downstairs and had a few ounces of turkey meat and a jar of baby food. Drank some water and had a cup of coffee. We had to be at the venue at 6 and we started our 7k run at 7am sharp. Event 2 was 1.5-2hrs later so I knew I was going to need a little food before the run and a little after. Glad I ate a little before the run because the sand bag was brutal. After event 1 I had my pwo shake and ate some more turkey and another jar of baby food(sweet potatoes). After event 2 we had about a 3.5hr break so I had my pwo shake and then ate 6-7ounces of turkey and had 2jars of baby food. Each jar had about 30g of carbs. Had a big dinner Saturday night. 1.5 burger patties,  sweet potato, salad with olive oil and then about a cup of coconut ice cream for a few more carbs. I new I didn't need to feel too light for day 2. I wanted to feel strong, a lot of heavy weights.

Sunday - didn't have to be at venue till 8am, Clean ladder started at 9:30 for me. Got up before my alarm, slept a solid 8hours. Woke up very stiff but felt better as I moved around. Ate a salad and some turkey with baby food for breakfast. Didn't have a pwo shake after the clean ladder, i only cleaned 4 times. At some ham and baby food after the clean ladder though. Event 5 was about 2.5hours later.

I felt great all weekend energy and hunger wise. I never felt fatigued in a workout due to poor nutrition. Baby food works really well for me in comps because I can digest it much easier than whole foods. Took ZMA each night also so I wouldn't have trouble sleeping. This is one of the first comps that I've been able to sleep well during. I usually can't fall asleep that first night.

Mike and I learned our lesson about getting to comps the day before..At regionals we will be arriving at least 2 days before hand...he can tell the story lol
