I know we have swimmers with impressive open water resumes...
I would like some feedback on calorie intake during long swims... seems to me taste of some of these gels, bars and drinks is critical, however the calories provided by some of these gel packs and bars ~ 100 calories tends to be on the low side.
what kind of caloric intake are swimmers attempting on their long swims?
...and good luck to chaos - we're cheering for you!
i'm thinking swims in which support / escort kayak or boat are mandatory...
this support crew would tote food stuffs... my nutrition issue is the majority of bars and gels I have seen offer 100 calories - not very much help.
Mixes seem to offer substantially more calories, but you need a crew. Often 5k is the approximate cut-off related to mandatory escorts... a 5k swimmer might tote a gel in her swimsuit.
