For the first time this I utilized sodium bicarb as part of my pre-race routine. I’ve been using sodium bicarb for a while & have the method down. No issues using .35g/kg dosing many times.
I use three equal doses mixed in 9oz water. An 1.25 hours before the event…eat 1/2 granola bar and chase it with dose 1. 45 minutes before event start eat 1/4 granola bar and chase it with dose 2. 15 minutes before event start eat 1/4 granola bar & chase it with dose 3.
Followed this protocol before a sprint triathlon today. No problems. Great result. I’ve got a lot to say about TR triathlon plans…but that’s another thread.
