Subject: Oly. Nutrition Plan Questions I expect that my first Olympic Tri is going to take a little over three hours to complete. The event begins at 9 am. I plan on eating the following:
7 am. 2 slices whole wheat bread
1 banana
Tbs. peanut butter
Tbs. mayo
20 oz. Gatorade 690 calories
8:45 1 GU gel 100 calories
Two 20 oz. bottles of Gatorade on the bike to be consumed during the ride
260 calories
10:15 1 GU gel 100 calories
11:15 1 GU gel 100 calories
Only water during the run
560 total calories total for the 3.5 hour event. I think thats about right.
Is it O.K. to take the gels with a Gatorade chaser rather than plain water?
What do you think? Would you make any changes? |
