IMC Athlete Guide Error

Triathlon Forum

Just wanted to alert IMC athletes about a potentially troubling error in the athlete’s guide. I’ve spoken directly to the IMC office (I actually called because I was confused) and they’re thinking of issuing a correction:

There will be NO gels at aid stations on the bike, only water, power bars and gatoraid. On the run, there’ll be the usual goodies, plus Powergels.

This was good to find out now, as I had only been planning to take only 1 gel with me on the bike, relying on the aid stations.

I also heard that they are going to start the Pros 15min early this year. They don’t mention it in the ‘Guide’… does anyone have an insight into if this is true ??
