Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official ThreadHey all! Haven't been on for a while. Sorry to hear that Mikerunkle and Thegomer won't be joinging us. I can't imagine having to refocus my attention to another race at this point, but kudos to you both for seeming to take it in stride. I'm all for the hat (a vote for light colored too ) or a t-shirt. Im pretty easy. Quick question/ advice....I did a long brick this past weekend (2 mile swim, 50 mile bike, and a 6 mile run ). Swim and bike were awesome but about the last 5 miles of the bike and the entire run, the naseau had set in. My legs felt good and I wasn't lacking energy per se just felt like i wanted to throw up. Im guessing nutrition issues. I've been using Infinit nutrition, about 1 200 kcal bottle per hour plus a sleeve of 200 kcal Cliff Shot bloks. By the end of the bike I just wanted water, everthing was getting too sweet for me. Is there such thing as too many calories? If I dilute my nutrition then Im not getting enough calories. I think I was nervous about bonking so I ate and drank as much as I could handle while still trying to be regimented about it. All in all I was happy with the day as I know now my muscles are ready for my HIM in Sept if I can just figured out how to feed them with out off my stomach. Off to Illinois to visit friends today and get in some nice long flat FL style riding. Take care Justin |
