I weigh 117 pounds. In preparing for my first Oly tri, all of the nutrition guidelines I've read so far suggest what seems like too much fluid (two bottles!), too many gels (Three!). Since I am much smaller than the average man that these plans are probably written for, can I get away with one 750 ml bottle of sports drink on the bike (and maybe drink half) and then just one gel before the run (and one in my back pocket in case I need more?)
I've only done Sprints in the past and taken nothing but water (and then only a little).
I expect to finish somewhere between 2:45 to 3:00 depending on whether I can channel my inner Amazonian.
Please share your experiences. Thank you.
