here was my rough nutrition plan

Starting bottle with 1/4 of the bottle with gatorade and a table spoon of table salt, and then filled with water. I sipped on this concentrate and washed down with Mortal at every aid station (I had around one quarter a bottle of Mortal immediately at aid station and threw it out). I ate a cliff bar up snow canyon, washed it down with water at the top, and cruised into T2 where I had a bottle with 500 mL of coke in bottle that I drank before the first climb at 1km. Rest of run, I had four Maurten Gels and a half a cliff bar, and washed down with water or coke (I am unsure what htye gave out on the run, but I think I had a few sips of gatorade). I will have to tally up the calories, but I am guessing 500 cals from gatorade, 100 cals from Mortal, 150 cals from cliff bar on bike , so 650 on bike, and another roughly 500 cals from gels and half cliff bar on run, plus maybe 200 cals coke so total around 1400 cals for a 5.5 hrs endurance outing at "my race pace" . My energy was steady and no stomach nor electrolyte issues on a day that started around 15C and ended around 31C but with low humidity. I don't know "exactly" the sodium content I took in between table salt and gatorade and Maurten and Mortal, but I think I ballparked it ok....no cramping issues and my loop 2 of run was 2 min slower than loop 1 so no blow up, then again when loop one is so slow, it is easier to even pace and not cramp !!!

For reference in my daily diet I eat anything and everything that is available so maybe that helped deal with a drink I had never touched till race day.
