I generally start with two bottles Gatorade/water, one 60/40 the other 40/60 blend.  If long ride/century then 75 to 100  mi one bottle 50/50 coke/Gatorade and one bottle ice cold water.  Post ride chocolate milk &/or pickle juice.

2 oz of tailwind mandarin orange every other mile, Ucan strawberry banana at 10k, Maurten caf 100 at 20k and 30k, Ucan again at 35k

Easiest marathon you will ever run.

For the tri, if it is olympic or a sprint it's Maurten 100 caf fifteen minutes before I dive in then chugging Maurten 320 caf with water and a Nuun tab thrown in. If it's a half or full then I have a whole seperate thread to get you to Kona/Nice.

 

ETA: Always, ALWAYS, a beer and slice of cheese pizza after. Carbs and carbonation are the lifeblood of recovery.

You ever try to make your own Tailwind or Maurten (non-caffeinated)?

I’ve been experimenting with some mixes I’ve found on various forums and had pretty good results.

15 years ago it was unheard of to take in 50g+ of carbs per hour.

I was talking about those flavored Liquid IV type hydration multiplier drink mixes. What brand is your electrolyte drink? It sounds pretty good.

Fast Lyte. I think theyre centered around health concious people who are fasting and supplementing electrolytes.

I have but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I also made my own sodium bicarb a couple times for 5K's with expected results immediately after crossing the finish line and I'll never make that mistake again. Some things are better left to the experts lol

The fasting angle is a good one. I not a fastah but the glucose spike destroys me every time. Will have to look into Fast Lyte.
