She Hasn't Trained in 3 Weeks... So Let's Plan Race Nutrition! (45 Days To Go)
The clock is ticking LOUDLY! 😱 With just 45 days until the Olympic triathlon, Rebecca drops a bombshell: she's only trained three times in the last three weeks.
After some "gentle" encouragement (and a game to predict how many sessions she'll actually do), we dive into the most critical topic right now: race day nutrition. This is a complete beginner's guide, built on our own epic fails and lessons learned.
We break down exactly what to eat, when to eat it, and how much you need. Learn the crucial difference between a protein bar and an energy bar, how to calculate your carbs-per-hour, and why sipping your drink is better than gulping. From pre-race breakfast to avoiding the dreaded "bonk" on the bike, this is the nutrition advice we wish we'd had!
