In addition to working with a # of professional athletes who had great days at IM Arizona (including women’s champion Leanda Cave (8:49), 7th place female - Kathleen Calkins (9:12)….& ST’s Jordan Rapp who I KNOW will move onto better days :), the bulk of the athletes we work with are age groupers ranging from first timers to those targeting a Kona slot. Some of these athletes don’t mind us publicly disclosing their nutritional programs & below I’ve outlined that of NJ's Sean Reilly who came out of the water 79th in his age group but ran his way to 2nd place in the M40-44.
Don’t hesitate to drop a reply if you have any questions/comments & I’ll aim to get back to you ASAP. Happy reading….
Ironman Arizona Triathlon – November 20, 2011
Race Totals: 9:29:29
Swim: 1:08:58 (79th in age group / 482nd o’all)
Bike: 5:01:50 (22.26 mph – off the bike 17th in age group & 140th o’all)
Run: 3:12:13 (7:20 per mile – finished 2nd in age group & 69th o’all)
Complete race results posted here.
BREAKFAST:
PRE-SWIM:
(1) bottle w/ (2) scoops of EFS + (1) SaltStick & (1) Accel Gel (Chocolate) before getting in the water
SWIM TOTALS:
1:08:58 (79th in age group / 482nd o’all)
BIKE TOTALS:
5:01:50 (22.26 mph – off the bike 17th in age group & 140th o’all)
Lap Splits:
Bike Nutrition:
Bike Nutrition Totals:
*For reference, Sean raced at ~152LBS [Hourly Caloric Intake (Bike): 3.65 calories /LB per hour]
RUN TOTALS:
3:12:13 (7:20 per mile – finished 2nd in age group & 69th o’all)
Run Nutrition:
*Alternated between Perform, Coke & water through 13-miles & then switched to Coke & water to the end [approx 1.5oz of each at (24) stations]
Run Nutrition Totals:
*The run calculations are assuming ~1.5oz of PowerBar Perform & ~1.5oz of Coke consumed at each of the 1st (13) aid stations & then exclusively Coke & water for the remaining (10) aid stations.
NOTES:
As you can see, Sean's hourly caloric intake is very high (even higher than '10 IMF Champ James Cunnama who's report we posted HERE). We came to this mark by continuously experimenting w/ a higher & higher intake strategy which Sean tolerated well. He also felt at the higher intake (about 25% more than we had done in previous IMs), he was able to maintain power output in the latter stages of the ride - better than he had at the lower #. Given that Sean is also a very strong runner, another concern was being able to process this many calories & still run well. Obviously he was able to do this, having the fastest run split in his age group.
Now if we can only do something about his swim :)))
As noted, if you have any questions please drop a reply or if it’s something that you feel is better handled offline, please shoot me an e-mail (Brian@PersonalBestNutrition.com).
