Road trip and roller derby bout

[AryaSnark]

Hi all,

I'm playing in my very first roller derby bout this weekend! *cue excitement and crippling nervousness*

It's an away game, a 4 hour drive in each direction. We'll probably leave the morning of the game, arrive in the afternoon and the game is in the early evening.

Any advice on what foods to pack that are good for a road trip and can fuel me before and after a crazy amount of exertion? At this point I'm looking at salmon in pouches and Lara bars, but I'm sure I can do better.

Cubed and steamed sweet potatoes are a good portable starchy carb source for after workouts... It's a food that isn't too bad when it's cold. It's definitely better hot but still palatable while cold. Good luck in the bout!!
