Subject: RE: Nutrition before IM... Thanks a lot guys !
I ate my breakfast as planned (minus a half-bagel ) and everything was ok. I had gastro-intestinal problems though for the bike course and almost all the marathon (as for many others... ). We suspect there mught have been something in the river where we swam (St-Lawrence River, Québec City, Can ).
I was so afraid of dehydration that I drank probably to much. I went peeing almost 15 times. As the wether was quite hot (28degC sunshine with a lot humidity... ), I prefered to stop to the toilet than to dehydrate. As for the energy, I was good until the 35th k of the marathon where I swithced to coke until the end.
I completed my first IM in 12h16min which I'm very proud of...
Thanks again for the advices !
