I my opinion the better prepare you are for the race the less, carbo loading and gu's will contribute to a good time. iam talking about the average fun rider looking for sub 4's or sub 6's (mtb races)
I don't change anything. normally eat out the nite before as the race is in another city. I will then try to go for pasta. I on occasion have eaten muffins for supper using 32gi as a nite cap and also in the morning limit to one or two lite beers
virtual coach for interval training... ie program the intensity levels and time, voice in ear phone as not to have to read. for those who needs specs, to read
Very interesting reading. However how does the ur physical condition influence how ur body reacts. I noticed many say they ride on water, game ect… Will the effects be the same for someone that is not conditioned? Vs someone who is very fit. does the level of conditioning not play a big part in the choice of nutrition?
i use USn epic pro, with pepto pro, this gives the protein, banana- cards pepto pro can be added to ur normal drink I don't use gels any more and find i don't suffer from blood sugar spikes.
my time this year was 5h10 and it was the best 5hrs i spent on a bike. prepare well, ride and take pics, msg to the ones who love you. gr8 fun btw slicks...
i assume ur bike is a 26er? thus going 29er is a "better" option from what i have seen and heard from like wise riders to myself. I have a GT zaskar race 2001 frame, spec with some nice wheels. have u thought of upgrading ur wheels? it might be a better option...
