I am doing a presentation to an elementary school class and I wanted to share some information about the amount of food, water, goo, etc. supplied at Ironman races.
Does anyone know a link to the data? I’m looking for numbers such as number of water bottles, # GU, gallons gatorade, fig newtons, ???
FACTS:
During the course of the race, more than 200,000 cups, 30,000 bike bottles, 15,000 feet of banners, 26,000 gallons of fluid replacement, cola, water and soup, 4,000 visors and 600 bottles of sunscreen are used and offered by some 5,500 volunteers lining the 140.6-mile course. More than 50 million people worldwide watch the event on television.
