Food for thought:
Eating:
Soups, juices, coffee, tea, soft drinks and, milk are food stuff products, so consuming these types of products is like eating. Swallowing a small amount of sudsy tooth paste is also included.
Wait at least 2.5 hours after eating before training or racing, this will prevent the felling of nausea during and after practices and when performing in competitions. Best time to eat and drink is afterward.
Besides water, sport drinks are designed for use during strenuous physical activity. However, drinking too much of these items during practice or competition can make one feel sluggish.
Two days before a meet, do very light practices and increase the fluids and salt in your diet. The fluids and salt helps you stay hydrated and is an important element in conducting electrical impulses to your muscles for proficient performances.
How Food Is Used As Body Fuel:
Eating heavy meals, like meat and potatoes, the night before any competition day works in your favor. It will serve as your fuel reserve.
When you compete, your body will first burn up the sugars in your body. The sugar is stored in your body, I believe, as glucose. This is your fast energy burning fuel. People who jump and throw and who run a mile or less rely on this energy source the most.
Once the immediate sugars have been used up in your body, the body turns to the slow burn energy fuel. This fuel is called the carbohydrates in your body. And carbohydrates come from the food stuff like: Pasta, Noodles and, Potatoes. However, your body can not burn the carbohydrates without the assistance of protein. Protein transforms carbohydrates into sugar then the body burns the sugar for energy. But this process takes time, so it is much more beneficial to people running distances longer than a mile, or for people participating in four hour practice sessions, or for people who play in most team sport activities. Your stomach must also be empty, before the protein can break down the carbohydrates. Any traces of food in the stomach blocks the secondary fuel burning process, this is when an internal signal is sent to your body to expel the contents and you begin to feel sick instead of becoming more energized.
These fuel burning factors can help you maintain a high energy level without getting sick. Your refined conditioning, breathing habits, technique and, natural skills should help produce better finishing results.

with the ultimate goal of cycling thru nz and eastern australia.what type of bike would be best suited to daily rides then carrying my tent ,sleeping bag etc on racks-thanks
Answer
It sounds like you need either a hybrid or a touring bike. Go to a local bike shop and look at both kinds. Talk to the employees in the store to get the advantages and disadvantages for each kind of bike with respect to the kind of riding that you are going to do. Then, do a lot of comparison shopping.
The bicycle business is so competitive today that any two bikes at the same price point are very likely to be comparable values. Ignore the marketing hype and fancy brochures. The most important thing you can do it test ride as many bikes as you can. One of them will fit you much better than all the others. You will be able to tell this very soon after first sitting on that bike. Buy that bike. The bike that fits you best will be the one that will give you the most enjoyment.
