Our collaborator Victory Endurance has designed a strategy to support you during a medium distance triathlon

Hydration and supplementation estimation for a Half Ironman.

BEFORE STARTING:

• ISO-ENERGY: It brings you the last and necessary intake of carbohydrates, minerals and water just before the competition.
• BARRITAS AND GUMMIES: the contribution of carbohydrates is essential, especially if we have not been able to load them before the test, for this we offer several options:
  • Nature's Energy bar 45-30 minutes before the start.
  • If you prefer another format you can take the Energy Boost Gummies 30 minutes before.

THROUGHOUT

• ISO-ENERGY: essential to avoid dehydration during physical exercise. Drinking a drink like Iso Energy is essential to improve performance.
• BARRITAS OR GOMINOLAS: for the bike part you have to take advantage of eating solid foods, choose the option that you like: the Energy Boost Gummies, Remember that 4 equals a gel. Or the bars Endurance bar or the Nature's Energy Bar.
• GELES: take them facing the end of the bike part and the last transition. We recommend you take one each 6 kilometers approximately in the race on foot. You can choose any of our range: Energy Boost with and without caffeine, Energy Up! o Pump gel

AFTER COMPETITION:

• TOTAL-RECOVERY: fundamental product to begin recovery both energy and muscle immediately after physical activity. It provides carbohydrates of high glycemic index, essential amino acids and glutamine, with an 3 / 1 ratio between carbohydrates and proteins that according to studies is the ideal combination to optimize post-exercise recovery. Also with a plus of vitamins and minerals. Taking a product such as Total-Recovery is necessary to optimize recovery.

• RECOVERY BAR: a delicious option to start your recovery. You can take it alone or combined with your Total-Recovery.

• MgB6: to avoid muscle cramps and improve rest, we recommend taking MgB6 continuously before going to sleep. If muscle wasting has been elevated you can make an extra shot after the competition.
