    Thank you for the tips, I especially appreciated the gear ration info, as I had previously a discussion with friends about it, and you basically confirmed my opinion.

    Bringing two different chamois to change every 12-24 hours is a pro tip and glad to hear you recommend it and practice it. Helps to put on a fresh clean dry chamois that has a different pad structure to reduce discomfort on soft tissue.

    Great vid, thanks. Doing the Termes 53 in May so these will come in handy. BTW Bocadillos can have everything in there, queso, tomate, tortilla francesa etc. Not exclusively meat...

    hy Cynthia, with a list like this I could do an ultraride and look like a veteran. most of your tips are good for long distance travellers as well.
    I'm impressed how you meticulously analyse every single aspect of the race, I think that really makes the difference when racing.

    Kind bars and nuts have a ton of fiber. They absolutely destroy my gut.

    • @wattwagon
      @wattwagon  10 месяцев назад

      they destroyed mine too! I definitely avoid nuts when racing at this high pace. for something longer I would probably eat nuts occasionally for some protein.

    Great tip & explanation of why a different second pair of bibs: different hot spots. I will add that to my repertoire. Did I pronounce that right: repertoire 😂

      Depends on the race! The clips at the beginning were from a DJI drone. The video here was recorded on a sony (not mine so I can't say what model). When I am racing I film on a DJI Action 3 and my iphone 12 pro.
