Kevin,
The important part of the pre-race meal is that it is “normal”. It should be something you have eaten many times before and know you respond well too. Mostly carbohydrate with some fat and protein. An example is eggs and potatoes.
Any solid food should be eaten over 2 hours before race start.
If your race is very early it is better to have a liquid breakfast such as a smoothie or recovery drink as they digest more quickly than solid food.
