Nutrition for this race would have been VERY tricky if we had done the full course (ride/run/swim/run/swim/run/swim/run), but since the hurricane shortened course was something between an olympic and a half iron distance race, I decided to go with my traditional nutrition plan, adapted for the reverse order of events.
I started off the morning with coffee with honey and a bowl of gluten-free oats with almonds, dried cranberries, raisins, salt & maple syrup. I also mixed a full strength EFS lemon lime electrolyte drink in a bike water bottle and drank most of this before I left the house and finished it up during the 15 minute bike warm up to the race start. Just before the race started I ate 2 FRS energy chews.
