Nutrition plan for tomorrow

Earlier today Dave and I were talking through how many calories I would be burning over the course of the race tomorrow. Our assumption is 1,000 calories per hour for a total of 6,000. We might be totally nuts.

Felipe was schooling me last week on how many calories and how often I needed to consume them while racing. It’s way more than I have ever taken in during a race.

My plan:

Pre-swim - 6:40 am – 1 GU

Swimming - 6:50 – 7:40 – Nasty ocean water and seaweed

Transition 1 - 7:45 – A few sips on a bottle of Motor Tabs

Bike - 7:50 – 10:50 – 2 giant bottles of doubled up Motor Tabs and 6 GUs

Transition 2 - 10:55 – A few sips on a bottle of Motor Tabs and 1 Bonk Breaker.

Running - 11:00 – 1:00 – 3 GUs and beverage on course.

Post – A giant chocolate milk!

Total calories = 1,400

This should be very interesting,
