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!

    mike - I recommend you acclimate to a morning meal for training, and have one prior to your 5K. Of course, you need to be careful but if you simply maintain your routine you should be in good shape.
