This was one tough week! Lots of volume in all three disciplines, and two 4+ hr. rides this week. Saturday in particular was a pretty epic training day. It started with a 3000 yd swim, followed up with 5 hrs. 20 min. on the bike, then a 1 hr. run. Not impossible, but what made it pretty tough was the weather. One of the banks I passed around 4 in the afternoon had the temperature at 102 degrees! With some pretty nasty humidity on top of that. I think my nutrition strategy worked ok, I could maybe use a few more calories, but hydration was not effective in that weather. I drank about 200 ounces on the bike and was still substantially dehydrated for the run. I think I did not take in enough electrolyte, but it is hard to carry enough on the bike during these long rides. I’m planning to supplement with endurolytes so hopefully that will help.
