I have comitted myself to doing a half in about a month. I have been working up to this for the last 3 months. I have done 2 - 1/2 marathons, several sprint tri's and 2 olympic tri's so far this summer. I have been doing bike/run bricks of 50 miles/6 miles and some 50 miles/10miles.
I bonked once on 50/6 brick due to not enough fluid/calorie intake. Mostly fluids as I mistook how warm and humid it was as I was riding and realized too late as I got into the run. I've been more carefull since then.
My real question is I would like to know what others who have done a 1/2 iron, how and when they fueled up during the race and what products they like to use.
I really have to force myself to eat and drink during an event as I seldom feel hungry or thirsty when expending high energies levels.
What type of final month workouts would you also suggest.
