Nutrition for Sprint Regattas

During sprint regattas, you will have opportunities to eat and drink between races. Avoid doing so too close to race time to prevent anything from “talking back!”

What works for one person, might not for another so go with what you know will settle well.

Consider snacking every 1.5 to 2 hours on carbohydrate-rich foods which include some lower fat protein. Pasta salad with some meat or cheese, ½ a turkey sandwich, yogurt and fruit, milk and a muffin are just a few examples. And of course, stay hydrated!
