Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. With a half-Ironman race a little over two weeks away, and a distance that is farther than any other I have completed to date, this feels like what I should be eating.

It is a familiar feeling, I feel unprepared. Nails for breakfast seems like the only thing that might toughen me up in the little time I have before I stand in the water with hundreds others. Though it is fun for me, because I haven't done this distance before, and ultimately when I am done honing the weapon, this distance will seem short of a warm up.

Still, I feel unprepared because I haven't trained in the distances I should have, with the disciplines together as they will be on race day, because I could get pulled off the course for not making a time cut, and I might be a little concerned one of these distances is too much.

I've heard 50% of training is getting on the starting line healthy. I'm just unsure which 50% this breakfast is going to help.
