Subject: HIM nutrition - getting nervous
So I am three weeks away from my first HIM (and second tri) and I am getting nervous about my nutrition plan.  I have trained with several different fuels and have found Perpetuem works well with my system.  So I think I am ok on the bike but I am concerned about the run.  I assume I can live off the course (gat endurance/power gells) but I have heard that gatorade can mix poorly with Perpetuem.  During my last tri (oly two weeks ago) I used gu's and water and seemed to be ok.  Any suggestions.

Also if I am using Perpetuem should I also use the electrolite supliment like endurolytes?

thanks

not going to comment on the electrolyte side, but i have NEVER had issues mixing diff run and bike fuels.

the run i always just takes whats on course, and if need be carry two gels with me, if i cant stand the course drink i alternate water and coke.
