Nice starts earlier than Kona and this time it's full of girl power. We are proud of all the athletes who have qualified this year and can happily travel to Nice.
Nice is a special place, even compared to Kona. Swimming in the sea can be rougher and sometimes requires a wetsuit. The bike route is much more demanding and has more elevation, and the run along the promenade is a mental challenge but also a pleasure.
Pay attention to your food on this day. We looked at various sports nutrition providers and came to a surprising conclusion. The amount of sodium in the gels and powders varies alarmingly. For 90g of carbohydrates, we found amounts ranging from 80mg to 600mg. Salt is important for the absorption of glucose/fructose and water into the body. A shortage leads to unabsorbed amounts of sugar in the intestine, which can lead to unwanted effects (bloating, nausea, vomiting).
The right amount of salt is important. Our products therefore contain 800mg of sodium. This leads to significantly better tolerance and better supply.
Good luck in Nice!
