@chase.the.peak: What’s in your plan? Here’s what I’m planning on consuming during Ironman Wales happening in just a couple of weeks. 3.8km swim, 180km bike and a Marathon means a lot of energy will be used with as much needing replenished. Never try anything you’ve not tried in training and stick to what you have planned. Any time I’ve had a gel, chew or too much carb mix in my drink within the final 45 mins of the bike, it means serious problems for my run. I’m better starting the run with slightly less energy and getting into my flow then taking on carbs, rather than having to stand (usually sit on a toilet) still from stomach issues. Whats your advice?
