When I ran cross country I never ate anything for lunch if there was an afternoon race. I did eat lots of pasta the night before however. Remember to drink lots of liquid and be well hydrated before the race starts.

Lots of fruit and mostly water is what I would suggest. drink so much water you feel like your bladder is going to burst. I ran a couple of 18 milers a few years ago and the day prior I drank water and ate oranges and bananas. it seemed to help.
