Re: [RC] [RC] Body Questions - Maureen A. Fager


Hi Karla,
For me figuring out what to eat on a ride was a process. Had to try several different things before I found what worked. Experimentaion is the key. My normal menu is -coffee, yougurt and an open faced peanut butter sandwhich, for lunch it's a ham sandwhich (dry) potatoe chips and a fruit cup. Also being sure I take my usual vitamin and mineral supplements. I found drinking as much water as possible over the course of the ride makes a huge difference. I take bottled water as this allows me to be able to monitor what I am drinking and not guess. For a hundred or a 75, coffee on the later stops is a must. I have started drinking a product called "Accelerade"-it's a sports drink, it helps too. I also found that Vitamin E and Selinum supplements seemed to help with the muscle soreness (works for the horse, why not me?) Figuring out what to eat is part of the puzzle.
Good luck!
Maureen,
Reno, NV
