Ironman Cozumel Nutrition
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Here I am 2 days post Ironman. I as I cleaned up my gear I wanted to take a moment to record the nutrition I used through out the day….Here goes-
For 3 Days prior to race:
Hammer Liquid Endurance- 1 tbsp w/ 18oz water 3x daily
Pre Race:
Package of Oatmeal- 1 scoop protien powder; 1/2 hr before- Sports Quest Direct 3 Recover Amino Power, 3 Vantage VO2 Max, 4 Thermalite (RVT) 1 Motivator; Luna Moons
On the Bike:
2.5 Large Bike Bottles of PowerBar Endurance w/3 scoops each; 3 Rocktane; 4 Clif Shot Blocks; 1/2 PBJ on white bread, crust off, cut into 1/4s; 8 Pringles; 2 Clif Peanut Butter Bars; Lot’s of water; Carbo Pro, SportsQuest RVT every hour- 1 Motivator
Run:
Sports Quest RVT every hour, CarboPro, 1 Motivator; 10 oz PowerBar Endurance w/ 2 scoops; 1 Rocktane; 3 Clif Shot Blocks; 10 Ritz like Crackers; Coca Cola - 2 big sips in the last 3 miles
That’s it…..Doesn’t seem like much but it sure did the trick for me. I didn’t bonk, no stomach problems. I really need to give a double thumbs up to the SportsQuest Product! I believe taking the Recover, Advantage and Thermolites every hour made a huge difference as I never “bonked” and never This nutrition worked great for me on this race!!
Next onto recovery and race report…..
