Re: The negative effects of FRC
On the tangent of lunch during FRC, it's basically impossible to fit it in if you're in the pits. One novel solution that my buddy / Shaker's drive coach Max uses is that Soylent meal replacement drink. He just brings a 12 pack of that stuff to every competition he goes to, and each time he needs a meal, he chugs one. Takes like five seconds to drink and you're back to work, and it's probably of better nutritional value than whatever greasy venue food you'd have to wait in line for 20 minutes to eat anyway. I'm not generally a fan of Soylent but this seems like a really nice application for the product and I'll be investing in a case of the stuff for next season.
