Eat both your legs. Then you won't have to do it and can stay at home and watch tv.
Tuna Pasta followed by 3 large bananas and a pint of milk (Full fat if you can, but Semi will do). Good luck!
Three times the amount you eat normally. Triathlon>Three contests.
Don't eat anything with too many complex carbs because they tend to cause gas and other gastro-intestinal distress that you want to avoid during a race. Protein is fine in small amounts, but they won't provide an immediate energy soure--protein after the race is important to help rebuild muscle (combined with carbs post-race to replace the depleated glycogen in your muscles). Also, don't eat anything you've never eaten before you've done a hard workout as race day is not the time to test out new foods.
You want to try to maintain about the same ratio of carbs to protein as you would after a hard workout: 3:1 or 4:1. About 1 hour pre-race, it's a good idea to either drink a sportsdrink or eat a gel--these are mainly simple cards and will give you and energy boost about race time.
Good luck!
