powerbars. only right before the meet tho. it must be a mental thing because i doubt that it actually gives me a boost. never tried caffein or anything like that.
PR- 15-1

Caffiene is just giving you the energy you can bring out in yourself if you dig deeper.... but its still fun to vault on a buzz like that :P. Im a big fan of simple trail mix and gatorade before a meet. I used to have a weird friend that would drink milk 15 minutes before a race. He was a 400, 200 runner. If i drank milk i think it would end up back on the track after the race.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
