Makes life easier. I try to take in a couple hundred calories an hour. Im kind of a furnace.Recovering after each stage?I eat and drink immediately after racking the bike. Ultragen is my current favorite.Do you guys have a race strategy?Ride Panerai replica watches fast and keep a sense of humor. I know you are not using Power Taps or computers to train, how do you know you wont blow up?We dont. But neither of us is a complete rookie, so theres that. I did two Ironman length triathlons (including Kona) within 6 weeks of each other last season.
That experience taught me a lot about what the human body can do and how many times you can actually get a second (or third, or forth) wind if you give yourself a chance. Sometimes you can implode and dig back in and find some more. Im honestly replica watch gift more likely to blow up if I have all those metrics on my bike and I can see my heart rate and watts and mileage, etc. That stuff gets in my head.

I know what it feels like when I start burning matches, as they say. During Ironman, there were times when I knew I was digging too deep too early and I would Ulysse Nardin replica watches remind myself to race within myself. Thats what I do, race within myself for the majority of the day and pick and choose when to start whipping out the matches and burning them down.Mike and I are pretty evenly matched and weve learned a lot about our pacing just by doing our hard training blocks together.Have you done a stage race before?Nope.
