I will be doing my first triathlon this summer in Austin, TX and would like your thoughts on what I should be carrying to keep hydrated and energized. There are so many products on the market that seem "cool" but would really appreciate hearing from your experiences of what works, what dosen't, and general strategy. Have a great season all !!

How long is your race going to be?

I carried way too much to drink with me in my first sprint tri. I think I had two bottles with me and only drank half of a bottle. (red gatorade, made me look like my mouth was bleeding when I finished, which scared some people). But I tend not to drink what most people call 'enough' during workouts or races.

I'm doing an Oly in a few weeks and plan on brining one bottle of gatorade and maybe something like a gu, but maybe not...
