Planning for success

In case you were wondering, here is the nutrition plan I executed for Ironman Wisconsin. I've been using Hammer Nutrition products for about 5 years now and have had nothing but success. I thought my water intake was low on the bike and I realized that during the run. I started feeling my legs cramp but was able push the fluids and hold them off. Luckily I packed extra Endurolytes in my special needs run bag.

1 bottle Sustained Energy, 350cal
10oz Starbucks coffee

1hr before race start
1 Race Cap
3 Anti-Fatigue caps
1 Mito-R cap
2 Endurolytes
1 bottle water

Swim
Two loop swim with no water exit, so no water intake at halfway point
