Subject: RE: What do you drink on a sprint?Pretty much all my races except for my HIM have been in tropical heat. For a sprint, I have a 20 oz bottle on the bike with half a tablet of Nuun or Endurolyte Fizz dissolved in it. Usually don't drink the whole thing; maybe half. A few swallows at the start to rinse my mouth after ocean swim, maybe a drink at 15, 30, and and just before running off. I don't carry water in a sprint run. Sometimes I take a drink of water on the course; sometimes just throw it over my head. I'm running really hard (trying to make up what I lost on the bike ) and I tend to gag when I try to swallow on the run. I've been a bit dehydrated at the finish but never ended up in the med tent; make up for it later with lots of water and electrolyte drink, and maybe beer! No nutrition for sprints (I would puke ); one gel for an Oly, halfway thru the bike leg. Edited by Hot Runner 2012-10-27 2:22 AM
