@Jonathan Hope you have a good trip to Maui. Sunday is looking horrendous, just saw that Maui county posted that they expect Sunday to be the worst of the storm with lots of possible flash flooding and landslides😳

On the question of ‘how long can you go on just drink mix?’
I did a full IronMan, and other than a gel after the swim and 3 bites of a bar at the start of the ride, I got to T2 exclusively on drink mix. I had a hydration system on the front of the bike, and 2 bottles on my seatpost, which were exclusively high-concentration TailWind. My downtube bottle had plain water. At the 90km special needs bag, I replaced both tailwind bottles and refilled the hydration system, and then started taking water from aid stations to supplement.

So, to answer the question, “at least 5 hours or 180km.”

Can I just jump in to say how delightful it was to listen to such a warm, friendly and sometimes mischievous conversation. You three obviously get along well and spark off each other.

Anyone catch who was @IvyAudrain’s celebrity crush @ 1:00? I couldn’t make it out with the laughter.

Johnny Depp, was/is/will be. :rofl:
