4th April - Bike

Wimbleball, Exmoor

UK Ironman 70.3 bike leg - 56 miles - 3:56

Went down to Exmoor to familiarise myself with the course with Jim, Maurice and Brett.

First Lap we went pretty easy felt really strong, second lap was much harder work. Still finding nutrition to be an issue, last 10 miles had very little left. Quick sandwich at the end and I felt fine.

Nutrition:

2 * Powerbar energy bars (with Caffeine)
Granola Bar
Powerbar Gel
Half a pack of Dextrose
Bottle of SIS Iso
Bottle of Water

Could have done with more water, more ISO and some substantial food, think I'm going to try a sandwich next long bike (next weekend).

Feeling really confident about things now.
