Yep, racing is a different story (for #2). The only thing that works for me is to eat a bland carb rich diet starting two days before a marathon. (no beans no cheese no grease!) The day of I get up about 4 hours early (you don't sleep anyway) and down a couple cups of coffe, walk around for a while. That usually does it. Then I don't eat anything else until about 1 hour before the race (bagel, banana) and I don't drink anything either. You can drink when you start running - carry a Gatorade sports bottle with you, you can easily fill up at water stops and you can throw it away when you are done. Figuring out what works takes practice.
