Subject: RE: IM Nutrition - Paleo/Gluten Free Style? lisac957 - 2012-09-05 12:37 PM Honestly, I would look at you a little funny if I saw you pull out some shrimp and bacon on the IM bike course - I'm also not sure how you'd keep a fish product "fresh" throughout a 5-hour-plus bike ride, with having to drop it off in a transition bag at ~5 a.m. the morning-of. What are you doing for your long rides right now? Thanks for your reply Lisa, I was hoping you would, you always seem to have such good feedback on all things nutrition....... Well, I got this cooler with wheels, (it's really aero, full carbon) and I was going to hook it to the back of my bike, cause although I think I can make room for 15 or so shrimp in the bento box I'm not sure what to do with the cocktail sauce Seriously though, right now on longer rides/runs I'm using GU Roctanes and drinking G2/reg. gatorade. I just wasn't sure I could/should do that for 11-12 hrs. (after the swim), so was trying to mix it up, but the first things that popped into my head were stuff I've used before that I don't eat anymore, like peanut butter and jelly sandwich and fig newtons. I've only done 3 HIM, and I get the impression that nutrition on the IM bike is a little more critical than it is for HIM bike? |
