I,m taking part in a sprint tri in june, I know its important to keep hydrated but will consuming a carbo gel help? when would I eat it ? and how much ? I know when drinking fluid with some form of carbo in it it should be less than5% of the total volume or it wont get assimulated through the digestive tract quick enough so it then sits in the stomach creating nausea.
I'm guessing maybe a mouthful just as you get on and off the bike ?? If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
