Your problem on a long course is going to be more about feeling bagged after depleating your existing blood sugar, which is what you had for dinner the night before and breakfast the day of the race. After that your body will start to break down you muscle glycogin. This is why your thundered for a few days after a big race.If you can stomach a big baked or boiled potatoe as late as you can before the start of the race it will go along way to keeping you fueled through out its duration. Also a corn based carb powder mixed with water and salts in your drink blader will keep you going like the energizer bunny. Also its important to stay off the booze for the week prior of the race, your liver needs to be working at 100% to process the carbs into blood sugar not to be side tracked in order to dispatch the toxins in your liver from the consumsion of alchohol and its conversion to sugars.
