Hi Guys,
Just took part in my first race, a short crit. I ate sensibly enough throughout the day, and felt good in the race. I feel I have a good enough grasp on nutrition for these shorter more intense races.
I've got a longer road race coming up, 80km. I do plenty of training rides in around 100km, so I don't think the distance is necessarily going to be a problem; however, I'm concerned about nutrition. It will be a morning start, likely early, around 8 to 9 AM.
Specifically, what I'd like to know is what to take in both before the race (the couple of days leading up to the race) and during the race (on the bike nutrition).
Thanks!
