Hey everyone, i have searched the previous threads but couldn't find anything in regards to my question... i am gearing up to do my first marathon swim next year and i was wondering about some things. I have done a few ironmans and they serve chicken broth on the marathon, on here i have read that many of you like tea for warmth and to settle the stomach...seeing how i am not much of a tea drinker i was wondering if any of you have tried chicken broth during a swim? Also, not having much experience in salt water, what do you think that combo would be like (i don't have much availability to salt water--i live in Ontario) so is this something you would think would work or to stay away from (swimming in salt water and drinking chicken broth?) I hope this makes sense, and i would appreciate any help! looking forward to all of your expertice and advice!
