1 bottle (probably only need 1/2 of it in 60deg.)

Any more and it'll be sloshing around your stomach on the run.

Four, two on the frame, two behind the seat. Maybe a bottle between the aerobars too...cant be too prepared.

Or just one. And I would put it on the frame as the entry and exit is much faster and cleaner than messing behind the seat at the intensity of an Oly.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Hold on a sec...

You're fast enough to go sub 60 for 40k and are asking us how many bottles you need to bring?

2 on the frame
2 behind the seat
1 aerodrink
1 camel back

And don't forget to recon where the aid stations will be.

He needs another bottle in one of his jersey pockets too. You can never be too sure.

float , hammer , and jog

And now for a serious answer...

none.

Have a drink before the swim, grab something at the first run aid station. I promise you won't die.

When is your race? Did you not practice this in your workouts? I only do one, if it is not very hot, I don't fill it all the way up, but I am a girl, weigh less and sweat less most likely, but it also takes me a few mins longer to do the bike.

I always go through 1 20oz bottle during the bike, it's easier to hydrate on bike than on the run and it tastes better than trying to hydrate on the swim. Contrary to an earlier post, 60 min without hydration could have a negative impact on performance, plus you'll probably be more comfortable being able to quench your thirst when you like which will more than make up for the 1pound weight difference.

1 bottle..

but keep a bottle at your transition.. after your swim... take a drink... then after the bike.. take another.. make sure to leave the bottle in your tri bag so it doesn't get too warm...
this has worked fine for ME....

Yes, I usually swim with a boat anchor...

Inquiring minds must know so - 1 for the calories and electrolytes and the water to wash the shit out of my mouth. I hate having sticky phlegm in my mouth...ha!

One bottle. Also leave the Bento Box at home in case you're wondering.

I've never heard of a sub one hour 40-k triathlete having to ask a question like that.

Just take a drink during the swim. I am devolping a filter that you can keep in your mouth while swimming to take all the bacteria out.
In all seriousness no more then two. Damn I wish I could go a hour and five and still have something left! Man that would make me happy.
