Subject: Nutrition ideas for first tri on Sunday? I usually do all of my training in the afternoon or evening, with my day planned out to fuel that training. I usually feel very good in the afternoon, and I almost never feel that way in the morning, so I don't train then, except sometimes on the weekend. This last Sunday was one of those times. I started off at 9:30 for a 21 mile ride. It was disgustingly hot and humid, but I made sure I had water before my ride, and I had my camelback full too. As far as nutrition, I had a yogurt, half a clif bar, and a sugar free pudding for breakfast (total of about 300 calories ). I never felt good from the beginning, due to the heat, but I soldiered on, but in the late stages of the ride, I was going up the hills on sheer willpower and hating the thought of stopping. I had nothing left in the tank. All I could think of was nutrition and how this might affect me this Sunday, as I'll have from 5:30-7:30 to get fueled up (unless you guys can suggest something that will carry over from the night before ) without eating too much. Oh, and I wasn't hungry on the bike; I was just wiped out. Any nutrition or other ideas to get this "evening warrior" into thinking about getting my best output in the morning would be appreciated. Thanks! |
