Anyone know when the info packets will be available for download for IM Florida?
Haven’t seen 'em yet…probably in the next couple weeks I would imagine.
Yeah, I’m also interested in finding out the stuff they are going to have for athletes along the way (in the form of liquids/gels/whatever). During the Rock and Rollman here in Macon, GA (HIM), they had some odd(to me) sports drink I had never used. The taste was alright… but, as they say you shouldn’t try anything new during your race.
I would like to train with the stuff I’m going to be given during the race.
Did a quick 75 mile bike and 30min run yesterday. Felt good and easy. I’ve got a whole month of 80, 100, 100, 115 bike rides coming up! I’m pumped.
See ya’ll @IMFL.

I’m afraid of not training with what they are going to have available. I thought they were going to use Gu on the course but it looks like they are going to use Powergel.
You do not have to wait for the race packet. The list of what will be at the aid stations is online now:

You mention that the Rock and Rollman Half had a weird sports drink. You don’t have to worry about that at IMF, Gatorade Endurance will be available on the course and it is available at your local grocery store.
They had cytomax at the rock 'n roll man–Love that stuff

Don’t gradually grow your bike distance. Just start slamming your body with the Centuries+ NOW. That will give some time for the “training effect” to happen. Honest.
