I was thinking about getting the accelerade that has the carbs, proteins etc. as a form to rehydrate. I have two bottles on my bike and wanted to get some thoughts on it. Using fitnessone.com it is fairly cheap for a 60 serving container of it. I am working on my water bottle grasping balance technique. I envy the guys who can ride w/ no hands, I def cannot do that.

I recommend installing a sauna in your new place and install the bike trainer there to get ready.

George Glen--Jeff's suggestion on calorie intake looking at the Infinit website is a good one. Kim Mueller wrote an article on how many calories you should ingest on the ride based on effort. Similar one for running.  I have used them both and tweaked based on what my body can handle.  In general terms since you get fuzzy fast, you cannot replenish more than 10-30% of what you burn and still stay GI happy.  For me, I am closer to the 10% when SBRing and 30% when I am just B'ing....

fattyfatfat - 2010-06-25 5:45 PM just had a bit of a scare.  running along a path by some river lightening rolled in.  was 1.5 miles from the car.  about a mile from nearest shelter. trail was through tall trees then out in the open then back in tall trees.  i high tailed it to the shelter. 

what should i have done?  i was amazed that people were still running and riding while the cannons were going off all around.

We rarely get lightening so I'll refrain from comment. I'm pretty sure my weather god, Cliff Mass, has covered what to do (cliffmass.blogspot.com if you wanna go and search it out!).

LOVED meeting Linda and Jeff this morning!! Very nice peeps, great vibe, awesome. Hope to see them again before the race but it's like a little city so you don't exactly run into folks. I did run into a teammate today, so that was fun. 

Checked in, tried to do the expo, manned a meltown/blood sugar crash by Thing 1, got him fed, gave him a huge "this is my weekend to be selfish so help me out here -- and how many of your friends will EVER go see their mom do an Ironman, huh? please try to soak in the experience" pep talk, and then did the expo successfully (and kids/hubs made signs for me -- so cute!!).

Now I'm just fretting about the forecast... which is HOT (by my standards), in the 80's on race day.

Soooo, REAL QUESTION!!

I'm trying to research and make decisions on sodium intake on race day. I don't want to go overboard but I don't want to end up in a danger situation. Birdy suggested picking up some Thermolytes, which I didn't find at the expo but I'm sure I can find at a bike shop tomorrow. I use Infinit, but not with a high electrolyte concentration as I'm not a huge sweater. I use Nuun, so I figure I'll add some of that to my Infinit and in my water -- easy to drop in. I brought my margarita shot bloks which are higher in sodium. I have no idea about my sweat rate or anything else. Heat is not something I have been able to train for this year AT ALL... so it is what it is. The temps will hit their highs about half-way into my run... at least w/o being on a bike it's easier to take in things at the aid stations. 

And here I made sure to bring along arm warmers and a rain jacket just in case...  Ha ha!!!

Dave (hubs) is IN LOVE with Idaho. At least this part of it. Really cute -- he just thinks it's gorgeous, perfect weather, good vibe, etc. I told him tomorrow I'd drive him up around Hayden Lake and the area of the former white supremacist compound. Still pretty, of course...! 

Loving every minute of being here!! Off for a dinner with my local peeps, then athlete's meeting!

Oh, and WAY TO GO FATTY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
