PSt(physical screengn test) monday

ok ive been training for a littel over 2 months for my PST. its goign to be monday. so i am askign about energy and water consumption

my PST consist of:
500yrd swim <12:30
10 minute rest
max push ups(min 42) in 2 minutes
2min rest
max situps (min 50) in 2minutes
2min rest
max pull ups (min 6) no time limit, must be dead hang and cant letgo
10min rest
1 1/2 m run in <11:30 in boots and pants=completion


my concern is the run. what can i consume the night before and that morning to maximize my energy?
tuna for lunch tomorrow
plan on having a pasta w/ meatsauce dinner with water to drink. and a small salad with a littel itilian dressing ive been taking amino vital supliment packs before i work out

2g carbs 2400mg amino acids (bcaa's)

i take gnc mens sport vitamins 2times a day.

and i plan on a power bar about 30 mins before my test i think 45g carbs 9g protein
after my swim i plan on a rapid replenish drink 34g carbs and 45g protien.

plenty of rest the resaon i ask is my run tims is actually pretty close to the max allowed a few seconds off in the wrong direction and i could fail.

so whats a good source for a little extra energy?

and should i drnk water or a sports drink?
any other info will be helpful
thanks
 
eating during/ for a fitness test

Question,
While you were training, were you eating before your swim etc.? I know some people can eat whatever whenever and not worry too much about it bothering their stomach, but others have to be careful.

I would have some concern with eating too much and worrying too much about it because your digestive system may take vital energy away from the test itself.

Aside from that, I would have that replenishing drink ready and sip it during your breaks, as well as water. Don't fill your stomach, just refuel when you are done.

What is this test for?

If you still have concerns about what exactly to eat (what you have looks fine to me) post the same thing on the nutrition thread, if you want more opinions.
 
the test i am taking is the physical screening test or PST for the BUD/S program(navy SEAL training) it is the second step in a long process for me to get where i want to be. i will have to take the test again 30 days before i leave for training and then again during the 1st 3weeks of training while im there.
