Subject: Practicing Nutrition My A race is coming up in late August I need a better nutrition plan this year. 4 mile swim, 15 mile bike, 14 mile kayak, 15 mile run.
I'm expecting a finish time of 10:30:00 to 12:30:00. So it's all day. (3:00:00s, 1:30:00b, 3:30:00k, 3:00:00r )
My problem is that even going on 2-3hr bike rides doesn't fully replicate race day. I've found a good pre-race meal that works for me but I have to consume that 2.5 to 3 hours before race start. Not really going to work for long weekend rides.
Race is 100% self sufficent so there's no living off the course. Will pass transition 3/4 times so don't need to carry it the whole way. I can have support/help unlike ironman.
I'd like to do a mix of gels, rice cakes, bananas, pb&j, electrolyte drinks. But unsure how they will digest.
Could I start my longer rides, runs, & bricks fasted then get into my nutrition experiments/testing after the first 30min or so?
How did you dial in your race day nutrition? |
