I realized later that I had totally messed up my eating schedule - not eating enough immediately post race and then being starving for dinner
I found that with a half (I have never done a marathon and have no interest) I have to eat something quickly. So the post-race food box counts for that. If I wait too long, my stomach shuts down and I simply cannot eat until nearly bedtime. I have the food box, I get to my room and become human again, then I go for a late-ish lunch, and it's perfect.
I would never last until dinner, unless I forgot to eat right after and let my stomach shut down. And if I did that, then I'm useless anyway.
