Metzet Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 agree with DaveM, (and Congrats!) you have two needs while racing 1. Nutrition2. Hydration .. always keep them separate ! At this distance, you can sneak home by tricking the body but at IM you wont get away with it. I'm usually spot-on in these races but Sunday I messed it up for some reason.. (too many dancing girls along the route) anyway did a PB on this course but missed my target time (sub 5h30) Total time 5h37 Swim : 34minBike : 2h59Run : 1h54
JGR Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 You drank 6 +/- half full bottles over 90km, where did u put them/ get them from?That still equates to about 3 full bottles... on the bikeWhat were the contents? Don't you think that might have drunk to much, over hydration (Hyponatrema...or something like that) can also cause muscle / stomach cramps Did u sluck any pain killers i.e. nurofen as well? Shot for finishing Gu brew - handed out on the course. electrolyte/carb mix. Perhaps not enough carbs? I don't take painkillers but going to see a someone professional I think it get to the bottom of it. At least by the look of it I got one of the best swim times on the hub 31mins

Curbie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, expect them to sell out by end of next week They're very quickly becoming "the Bank of Africa" with the interest they will earn and our eagerness to take up an available slot

davem Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Congratulations on the engagement, mate!! Does she know what she's in for? Thanks. She has been to two 70.3s and one IMSA. Done the TriRock SuperSprint herself. The best supporter!
dracs Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I've been man down since last night!I heard Paul Kaye calling you home as I was starting my first lap - great effort afer seeing the pics of your crash a few weeks ago...
SwissVan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Gu brew - handed out on the course. electrolyte/carb mix. Perhaps not enough carbs? Depends... if you are used to it should not be an issue, still think 3 bottles worth is to much (but then i don't know what size bottles they were).I think with all the GU's you had enough carbs... Did u get stomach cramps and muscle cramps or just muscle cramps?
davem Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 @JGR - Six bottles sounds way too much. Were you that thirsty? It wasn't very hot.
travisza Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Did anyone get sick after the race? I know of at least 5 people who were man-down after the event (includes 2 Pros and 2 podium AGers).One of the worst 24hr bugs I've ever had.still feeling terrible
BradleyMark Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 One of the worst 24hr bugs I've ever had.still feeling terrible My girlfriends got the same - started yesterday afternoon. We thought it could be food poisoning from lunch we had on our drive home...
travisza Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 ya started yesterday morning for me. Fever, cold sweats, etc. moving nicely along to some savage bouts of nausea and frequent scrambles to the bathroom to vomit. Vomiting stopped about 3am this morning.
