It’s Race Week!

Let’s talk nutrition!

Breakfast should be same as your normal pre ride breakfast or daily breakfast. Something easy to digest with carbohydrates and protein, not too much fat.

On bike aim do 60-90g of carbs. Ideally you test this on your longer training rides before race. Don’t try anything new on race day.

Remember to hydrate well. Aim for one bottle per hour. I like to have one bottle energy drink and one bottle electrolytes. Women’s core temperature is higher than men and we can overheat faster.

Don’t forget to eat or have recovery shake within 30-60 mins after race so that your body can recover well.

Have fun and ride safe!

Race tips for the final day from our coach

Get all your stuff ready the evening before so you don’t forget anything.

Have a breakfast that you normally have high in easy to digest carbs. Toast with Nutella or oats with honey, porridge is a good option too!

Start eating an hour into the race or earlier.

🥪 Aim to have 60-90g of carbs per hour!
That is 2 gels plus banana or energy bar per hour. Or 1 gel, 1 bottle of energy drink, 1 energy bar or hot cross bun etc.

Don’t try new drinks or new gels.

Add a packet of Rennies in your packet and have 1 or 2 in half way mark latest to avoid indegestion and cramps.

🧃Drink electrolytes as well not just water or energy drink.

Try to work together as a group. Help the weaker riders.

Remember it’s a team race and you want to have fun too.

Don’t forget to check the views!

Support each other with positive and kind words.

Save energy for last few climbs. Stronger riders can push the weaker riders! This is what’s it about!

You got this!

Good luck to all and ride safe!

C u at the finish line!
