Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Dooo Eeeet!!! Originally posted by jmkizer Thanks. Originally posted by ceilidh Janyne, how was your race? Also, what kind of camera do you have on your bike? I am thinking of getting one for Jim. The race was good. Next year, let's do it together! I don't have a camera on my bike. Sorry :-( I know several people who have the Cycliq (https://cycliq.com/) but I decided on the Varia radar instead (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/698001). I figure with no front license plates in NC, it would be better to be proactive with the Varia. I really like it. Clearly, I could go with the Cycliq front light though. At the time I was shopping for a better rear light. I also have a Bontrager Pro Ion/Flare combo. The Ion is a strong front light. I asked for it for Christmas one year and Kevin got the Ion/Flare combo for me (the Flare is a rear light). It turns out that I like the Flare for gravel -- I trust that it will stay on and I don't need much/any info about cars. (https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/bike-accessories/bike-lights/bike-front-lights/bontrager-ion-pro-rt-front-bike-light/p/22466/). PSA: REI carries the Bontrager lights. Maybe look for a sale or get REI cashback on them?

You are the second person in the past month to tell me that they had previously relied on Gatorade Endurance (GE) and had issues this year. My teammate Ralph dumped his GE and ended up "living off the course" half way through. :-/ This is a bit of what i've learned from Dr. Staci Sims (google her if you aren't familiar). Combining sugar, amino acids, fuel substances into your drink which is supposed to be hydration, is counterproductive. This is how you can become dangerously dehydrated even though you've been consuming fluids. As you consume it, fluid is simultaneously being pulled out of the blood stream into the gut to deal with the fuel sitting in there. Consuming water with essential electrolytes (like nuun performance) will pull the fluid into the bloodstream. Consume food separately and in small amounts -sip, sip, nibble, nibble. Eat real food, not engineered nutrition. Pick food high in healthy carbs, with some protein and fat to help regulate digestion and entry of glucose into the bloodstream. The higher the temp, the less fat you should consume. Great fuel choices: bananas, cooked white potatoes, cooked sweet potatoes. Try creating a mash or small bite sized pieces for easy consumption. You can also add small amounts of healthy fat (coconut oil, eg), walnuts, seeds. The engineered nutrition -especially gels, is bad b/c you're taking concentrated carbs and putting them in an already compromised gut. Gels and other high, concentrated carb products create a shifting of fluid into the small intestines. Fluid is diverted to the gut to process the load of sugar. This causes the common feeling of bloating and hastens dehydration. Our bodies know what to do with real food and b/c there is a mix of macronutrients in real food, gastric emptying, and the digestive process is slowed such that there is more sustained energy delivered to working muscles and stabilized blood glucose. Another hack i learned was to use glucose tablets towards the end of the run of an IM or HIM. I haven't done one since i learned about them, but have used them on long runs with good success. They give you a nice boost of glucose (duh) right when you need it most. All that to say sports drinks are bad ETA: i may as delve a bit deeper: The goal on the bike is to fuel for it but also to have a bit of residual fuel in your digestive tract to draw on for the run. On the run, the goal isn't to supply extra calories for the future but to keep blood sugar levels elevated, without dips, to maintain pace. Divide the run into thirds (this if for IM, HIM you don't have to be near as anal): the first 3d, if you can, have small bites of soft bars, figs, or smooshed soft pretzels before moving on to energy chews (chews are different than gels). In the 2d third, switch to soft jelly candies/energy chews, and on the last 3d you look for quick hits of sugar that won't upset your stomach - glucose tabs! On hot days using menthos chewy mints are also a great choice as the give a quick hit of sugar with the cooling perception of the menthol. Do not follow them up with a Coke! Trust me on the last point, in CHOO IM, i did the coke thing and was nauseous for miles! Edited by amd723 2021-09-14 11:24 AM |

It goes along with what my coach told me one time, to not do a drink other than water with gels/food. I tend to 'eat', drink a little water, then wait a while to take a drink of Nuun (which I've been using). He had said that under exertion, blood moves away from the digestive system to your extremities making digestion 'harder', so don't make your stomach's hard job even harder with overloading it.Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by JBacarella Thank you everyone.

I halfa$$ed listened to her and used primarily water for prehydration the week before this race. I thought I could use the Gatorade on course in part for nutrition. In retrospect, before I started using Gatorade, I was not having these issues. Plus I was using fewer gels and used other nutrition sources. I guess it's back to the lab for me to figure this out. I don't look forward to having to tell D2 she was right. I am going to get a long science lecture in which I will only understand half. |

Also have one that is i think a Euro brand that i don't know - my DH works for a big retailer and was asked by the buyer to try it out (and then keep it) - it is really easy to get the bike on and feel secure but the way that it folds down to get in the hatch of our car is kind of annoying and it doesn't fold up when not using it - so we really only bring out very sparingly. |

I despised the hanging carrier I had for many reasons, the main one was it damaged the paint on my bikes. The tray is so much easier for loading bikes but like Ann-Marie said, it is heavy but ditto on perhaps newer models are lighter. |

I have a tailgate cover on the truck and a hanger that rarely goes on the car. I did a trip with some friends to Ga and we used a Kuat 4 bike platform, with an internal locking cable. Also, Kuat makes a two bike platform rack that you can get an additional two bike piece for. This sounds like the best possible option, albeit, a bit pricey. TBH, that will be the ticket if I ever have to buy another one. |

IMCHOO is this coming weekend - the buzz is air temps in the high 70s, dew point in the 50s and a wetsuit legal float down the river.

Maybe they'll get some of TS Nicholas and will make it more EPIC for these poor souls. |
