They're pros though, it's their job to do everything they can to give themselves the chance to perform and they have a team to support them. Not having the legs, not feeling it on the day, heat got to me, etc. that's part and parcel, but losing time because you forgot to eat/drink enough? Nah, not having that. Maybe I'm being harsh. Fair point about giving them just enough to maintain weight, you'd think they'd err on the side of caution though.
