If racing on the bike lots of protein based snacks, bananas, soup , coffee. Gels Running - ran 100km on 17 gels , half a banana and a dry biscuit, training again protein bars and energy bars maybe even some jelly sweets

TRO Saracen Feb 2020 4:15pm, 18 Feb 2020 20,525 posts	0 TRO Saracen Medjool dates; slit them open, remove the stone then fill the cavity with peanut butter and if a hot day a pinch of salt. Close them back up then stuff into a bento box. A very compact source of calories, the peanut butter gives you a savoury tang plus salt (and I think Dates contain potassium) for electrolytes. Works for me for Ironmans plus 100 or 12 hour TTs.
