So with the help of our friends at Precision Fuel & Hydration, we’re going to explain the most common failures, & how to prevent them.

I’m always shocked to realize people don’t realize hydration doesn’t mean just water. Electrolytes are essential just during a regular day. Even more so during an event! And not just sodium, but something that has a more complete electrolyte profile will do you a world of good. Good video, guys :)
I think that’s an issue of how we are taught as children.
I do watch my nutrition in my training but do not take as serious as say a professional triathlete would. I am a senior age grouper. To not watch what I consume would take away the fun of doing the races. Good information here on this video. I do follow much of what is presented here. TOO MUCH CAFFEINE? Thats my blood type! Coffee anyone?Cheers
Thanks for sharing. much enjoyed.
Great video! Thanks guys
A fantastic video. Great information clearly presented for age-groupers.
Excellent show, ty
Our pleasure!
Awesome video! Thanks a lot!
Glad it helped!
Lovely video . Perfect xxxxxxxxxx
I learne3d the hard way during my half marathon this fall that I needed more electrolytes than water. I'm a super sweater...and I didn't consume enough electrolytes. I thought my gels were enough...they weren't. It totally makes sense that people who sweat more need more electrolytes.
When he first talked about sweat and fluids @3:47 I thought he was going to say, “…we sweat a lot especially you mark!” 😂
😂 he is a sweaty guy!
#gtncoachescorner I had Thai for dinner last night. I’m wondering if some types of pasta is better to eat than others prior to racing.
I done the 70.3 in lanzarote a few years back and took to much water on board and felt like I’d swollen up!!!!
It's easily done Andrew and can be really quite dangerous. Let us know if you want to talk through your strategy to try and avoid it happening again in the future.
great advices, thanks
Alas I remember all too well a race where I ate the wrong thing right before and I didn’t most of my race running from porter potty to porter potty and at the finish my body decided that way was too inefficient and I threw up whatever was left in my stomach
Oh yes, I have failed miserably with my nutrition. I thought I had a good plan and was on target. at around mile 70 of a 100-mile ride, I found myself unable to choke down any more food/gummies/gels. My stomach was bloated and I wanted to vomit. It seems like nutrition is somewhat of a moving target - I was ok with the same fuel intake in other rides, but not in this one? It makes me nervous for my next big ride because I was miserable the last couple of hours and so happy for it to be over.
Did you end up discovering what the issue was? A situation I've heard a lot of my friends go through on race day and I'm looking to avoid it on my first 70.3 coming up.
Did my first tri today, and my nutrition fail was I sucked down Gu too fast I choked on it while on the bike. It was too sticky and I had to slow down to chug down lots of water and caused some pain on my sides.
At my race yesterday, I tried gu mixed with water for the first time. 2 packets mixed with about 10oz of water in my way bottle. That way, it was easier to consume AND I could take it at more regular intervals. I had my best feeling and fastest bike ever doing it this way!
mmm a couple of grilled salmon fillets for breakfast is just what you need....
I'm a major fan of doing the race distance IN training. At least once a month depending on your choice of discipline. Maybe once a week if it's a super sprint tri. It will iron out aaaaaall potential issues
Amen
Porridge with milk!!!………always with water
My favorite pre-race breakfast is (vegan) pancakes.
I
I nearly choked myself well and truly with Soreen at the Glen Clova duathlon!!! 🤣
Im lucky i can eat what ever even new gels gieven on a course never cause me issues!
fordt
You may or may not be aware that 75-80% if the world's population are lactose intolerant, please recommend plant milk of which there are loads out there. We are not baby cows!
Mooooooo
yes i meant first
You are cheating ;)
Too much carbs and too low carbs are not two mistakes. You could say wrong amount of carbs.
Same with liquid.
So to me you counted 5 mistakes not 7 😊
