what should i eat berfore cross country meet?

Q: im just starting cross country this year and yesterday was my first meet!that day i had eaten cherrios in the morning, and cocoa puffs for lunch because i didnt have anything else.after i ran the race at 6:20, i felt sort of weird and my eyes kept sliding in and out of focus. is this because of what i ate that day? if it is, does anyone have any good food i could eat the day of the race?we have pasta dinners the night before every meetthanks <3

A: eat pasta 2 nights before the race, this is because it wont all get into you system over night you a day or 2 for all of those nutrients to start working, drink nothing but water, and in the morning and the day before stay AWAY from dariy food. eat fruits and a bagel, at lunch I like to have a peanut butter sandwich and more water. good luck at the next race.
