7 Nutrition Fails You Don't Know You're Making!

[@friendmeg]

I’m always shocked to realize people don’t realize hydration doesn’t mean just water. Electrolytes are essential just during a regular day. Even more so during an event! And not just sodium, but something that has a more complete electrolyte profile will do you a world of good. Good video, guys :)

I think that’s an issue of how we are taught as children.

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

@@rasamo9264 Well, most people don't workout for over an hour regularly to need it that much and most don't have any coach so there is no one to tell them.

I do watch my nutrition in my training but do not take as serious as say a professional triathlete would. I am a senior age grouper. To not watch what I consume would take away the fun of doing the races. Good information here on this video. I do follow much of what is presented here. TOO MUCH CAFFEINE? Thats my blood type! Coffee anyone?Cheers

[@condesabeatriz9303]

I learne3d the hard way during my half marathon this fall that I needed more electrolytes than water. I'm a super sweater...and I didn't consume enough electrolytes. I thought my gels were enough...they weren't. It totally makes sense that people who sweat more need more electrolytes.

A fantastic video. Great information clearly presented for age-groupers.

When he first talked about sweat and fluids @3:47 I thought he was going to say, “…we sweat a lot especially you mark!” 😂

[@precisionfandh]

Oh yes, I have failed miserably with my nutrition. I thought I had a good plan and was on target. at around mile 70 of a 100-mile ride, I found myself unable to choke down any more food/gummies/gels. My stomach was bloated and I wanted to vomit. It seems like nutrition is somewhat of a moving target - I was ok with the same fuel intake in other rides, but not in this one? It makes me nervous for my next big ride because I was miserable the last couple of hours and so happy for it to be over.

[@Arbiter609]

Did you end up discovering what the issue was? A situation I've heard a lot of my friends go through on race day and I'm looking to avoid it on my first 70.3 coming up.

[@dmartinez9496]

Thanks babe. For you I'll start snacking on those dried cherries with my walnuts with salmon

[@alisonwilks302]

Lovely video . Perfect xxxxxxxxxx

[@michellokhorst5883]

Alas I remember all too well a race where I ate the wrong thing right before and I didn’t most of my race running from porter potty to porter potty and at the finish my body decided that way was too inefficient and I threw up whatever was left in my stomach

[@boogieuhuh]

Did my first tri today, and my nutrition fail was I sucked down Gu too fast I choked on it while on the bike. It was too sticky and I had to slow down to chug down lots of water and caused some pain on my sides.

[@larissadueck2643]

At my race yesterday, I tried gu mixed with water for the first time. 2 packets mixed with about 10oz of water in my way bottle. That way, it was easier to consume AND I could take it at more regular intervals. I had my best feeling and fastest bike ever doing it this way!

[@jobanski]

#gtncoachescorner I had Thai for dinner last night. I’m wondering if some types of pasta is better to eat than others prior to racing.

[@perro0076]

I'm a major fan of doing the race distance IN training. At least once a month depending on your choice of discipline. Maybe once a week if it's a super sprint tri. It will iron out aaaaaall potential issues

[@Arbiter609]

Amen

[@cmarnold78]

mmm a couple of grilled salmon fillets for breakfast is just what you need....

[@ironmantooltime]

No hot sauce the day before 😎

I nearly choked myself well and truly with Soreen at the Glen Clova duathlon!!! 🤣

[@laurabaumgras-pearce5699]

My favorite pre-race breakfast is (vegan) pancakes.

[@TamaEnergy]

Im lucky i can eat what ever even new gels gieven on a course never cause me issues!

You may or may not be aware that 75-80% if the world's population are lactose intolerant, please recommend plant milk of which there are loads out there. We are not baby cows!

[@mgrix1]

Mooooooo

[@alirezahomayoon]

You are cheating ;) Too much carbs and too low carbs are not two mistakes. You could say wrong amount of carbs. Same with liquid. So to me you counted 5 mistakes not 7 😊

[@dachsdog]

yes i meant first
