I am planning on using Tailwind in my next Ironman, but would appreciate some guidance on how to prepare the "sludge" bottles. Is the idea to just take a hit off of the sludge bottle and follow up with water from the BTA?
Probably depends on how you want your total setup to look. If you wanted to do a single BTS, you could run it at a concentrate that will last until your SN, then grab another bottle that'll take you to the line, and then supplement with straight water BTA from Aids. I prefer running a 'sludge bottle' BTS with lines on it. Right before aid, at the correct amount to my BTS torpedo, then top off with water. I like that more because I know that what I'm drinking is the proper dilution without having to think about it in the moment. Can also run dual BTS (water, concentrate) so you have access to more water seperate from your nutrition if you want it.
