Hi all,

I have recently starting trying LC'ing (about 3months) and have lost some weight (about 8 pounds). I am also training for a Triathlon this summer, and am concerned that I am not getting enough carbs for my training. For example, yesterday I went for a 27 mile, hilly, bike ride, and only took water....I wanted to take a water/gatorade mix, but didn't. I felt, hot and tired, and wonder if having the carbs (via a drink) would have been the right thing to do?

Does anyone have any suggestions or personal stories re: the same? I would greatly appreciate ANY help you could give me!

Thanks!
