Doing my 1st and 2nd 70.3's at Wimbleball and Lake District this year. Can anybody clear up a nutritional question? Is it normal practice to drink carb sports drinks at the same time as ingesting energy gels. Had some digestive discomfort doing this in the past but I don't know whether it's just a case of not taking one straight after the other or not even mixing them in the same race! How long a gap do you leave after an energy gel before supping some sports drink?

Unless you use the SIS gels which require no wash down and i use these.
Not sure of the science in not washing down with Sports Drink but i'm sure on of the others can fill in the blanks.

I'd add bananas too, good carbs, handy, against cramp, cheap.
