Finally nailed a 5K after 4 years of awful race day meals

Last Saturday in Dayton, I ran my first sub-30 minute 5K. The secret was eating a plain bagel with peanut butter 2 hours before, instead of my usual pre-race protein bar. Three years ago, that same bar gave me side cramps so bad I walked the last mile. Felt like a real runner for once, not a bloated mess. Has anyone else found their weird magic pre-run food? Mine took 14 tries to figure out.
