    So I'm planning to win tomorrow's Turkey Trot. I'm hoping to run sub 16:40 in the trot (based off of a 9:58 3200m time trial 1.5 weeks ago).

    Would it be a good idea for me to eat something protein and carb-based in the mid afternoon post race?

    I was thinking of something like this:

    chicken

    rice

    maybe for dessert indulge and have ice cream?

    I'm a HS runner who's been doing ~60 mile weeks this past cross season. Only managed a 16:42 as my best in-season time this year, but my PR is from last year of 16:13

    I hope you're kidding. A serious runner would only eat ice cream on July 4th.

    But not French Vanilla. Something American like rocky road. ??

  • Freedom Fries, remember when that was a thing?

    You win a turkey, so you eat the whole turkey.

    In the event that you win a pie, smash it on the ground to prove that you're a real man.
