I have read this article. It's actually what solidified my thinking about why my performance may have been suffering and why I probably felt so gross during and after a long/hard ride (on days that I ate primarily carbs prior). I think I'm just going to try to eat normally and see how that goes. I usually have greek non-fat yogurt with strawberries and granola in the AM. I think I will add some scrambled eggs and maybe a piece of toast with that pre-race and see how I feel. Thanks for the advice!
