V12man Posted November 11, 2015 Share Oh ok cool so the 60-90g rule is only for when you going balls out? Yeah the reason we taking it easy is to stop at quiet a few water points hydrate and take in the vibe a bit. Enjoy the ride rather than race for time, there are other races we will do that in.Yup - the 1g/kg/hour rule is only for hard racing - ie. over a 7 on a perceived effort scale of 1 - 10 Of course - you could average 45kph between water points... then you can revise it...

hayleyearth Posted November 11, 2015 Share Where can I get hold of this superbar to try it out? Do you know if there are any retailers in PTA yet. I don't want to order a box and then I don't like it. I will probably get some next year when I'm in CT for the CTCT to test. Do you know if they will perhaps have a stand at the expo? You can contact me I have some stock with me, otherwise The Trailhead.The brand is still too small so have a stand at the Expo, maybe next year.I can meet you at registration if you would like. Edit: dont know hoe this got in there again..I can meet you at the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New2tri Posted November 11, 2015 Share I'm not an expert, but that sure is a lot. Do you get sponser(ed) by cadence? lol I've heard about the 60-90g/h, but struggle to get that much in. I will have a nice bowl of muesli and yoghurt about 1.5 h before we start and 1 slice of bread with Nutella (dik gepak). In the pens, about 10 mins before the start I will have a banana and then 1 (600ml) High 5 and 1 (600ml) water. 1x Farbar- about 40 mins into the race and a gel at 2h10 ish. somewhere inbetween I'll take a banana. I will definitely be under 3H but aim for sub 2h50.I'm with you. I've tried many things on races, even done a few on only Energade/Oros. But what I have found is the more important part for me is breakfast though. If I have a good breakfast, eg toast with eggs etc 2:30-3 hours before the race then I need very little during the race. I've done only two 94.7's, both between 2:40 and 2:50, but generally only eat a bar/chocolate or two in the first 2 hours and a gel later on. One bottle with USN or something and the other water. I weigh in at about 85-87kg, for me the race is a bit short to digest all the carbs and stuff so try and keep it to a minimum. But I then do eat a burger or two and have some coke before the second loop...won't make another 95kms on bars and gels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
